Slavoj Žižek: The Sublime Object of Ideology
Jump to Connections
235,185 Views • Premiered Aug 31, 2020 • Click to toggle off description
Slavoj Žižek is the modern incarnation of an absolute ton of prior theory. Just mixed with some weird mad scientist aesthetic. He is widely known by many, but, is often either misunderstood or people just don't really know much of his theoretical backdrop. His work includes everything from Hegel, Marx, Althusser, Lacan, Kant, etc. And undeniably, Žižek's magnum opus and baseline for all future work is The Sublime Object of Ideology. This book is so densely packed with theory, that it often needs some external context and further explanation. This is what I have hoped to achieve for some.

The Sublime Object of Ideology concerns itself with the question surrounding ideology, our interactions in the context of psychoanalysis and the like. The book is at the heart and core of Žižek. Thus, undeniably deserves our attention.

I read Lacan just to understand Zizek's jokes

I feel like I never understand philosophy when it is explained "directly", but as soon as someone gives an analogy I'm like "oh that I totally understand"

I wanted to read Zizek, but it's better when the embodiment of the Lacanian Other relieves me of my responsibility to do so

Yo, everyone! This was hands down the densest video I have done. But, It seems to have turned out alright if I say so myself. Little acknowledgment (before theory Chads go in on me): there was some bits and pieces of nuance surrounding Lacan and Hegel in the book that was left out. But, at 35 minutes, I wanted to get to the total essence of the book. Lacan and Hegel via Zizek is a possible future video. If you guys enjoyed this, if this makes some of the theory surrounding Zizek easier to understand, please consider pledging on Patreon. Making these videos require quite a bit of resources. Resources that my broke college self struggle to garner. If you have it in your heart to help this project moving forward, any tier helps so much. Here is the link: www.patreon.com/epochphilosophy

Yogacara Buddhism explained a lot of this 1000 years ago... The self is a tool for interfacing with the world, formed by conditioning, but the point is not to extinguish or kill that self, it is to realize the nature of it as a useful conceptual tool for living in the world as we find ourselves. The alternative is to be embedded in the self as a reified, real, permanent thing, in which case we are prey to thinking the conditioning and concepts that make up the self IS the true reality. The idea that one must "kill the self" would be to chase just another idea.

That was excellent. I’m reminded of this quote by Ludwig Wittgenstein - ‘The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.’

Falling on this video at random at 1am after a very boring afternoon is just the most crazy rollercoster I've ever experienced.

Ultimately, I must say that this ultimate video is ultimately a good attempt at ultimately deciphering Zizek. I ultimately enjoyed the analysis, and the ultimate recommendation, the ultimate video essay channel, Plastic Pills

This is an impressive summary of a very complex work that draws from so many different places

The algorithm knows me too well, I had just finished the first chapter of this book last week but felt like I needed a secondary source. Thanks!

The sublime object(s) of ideology, seem like Foucault's idea of the episteme, concepts so deeply rooted in society, that they govern the very creation of concepts within people of that society itself.

I just got introduced to your channel and this is the first content I saw. It just blew mind how you have managed to take a such a theoretically dense text as The Sublime Object of Ideology and break it down to its most basic form possible and do an in-depth analysis of it in the format of a video. Attempting to do such a mammoth task requires some serious levels of guts which you surely have. Eagerly waiting for your further text based analysis videos. I am sharing your content to my fellow earthlings who are into similar discourses. Goodluck man.

Terrific video. I need to re-watch again (and probably again) to get a little more 'sink in' going on. I highly appreciate you making these type of complex philosophical concepts more accessible to the layman.
