He’s been described as the most dangerous philosopher in the West, and he certainly doesn’t hold back any punches. But there’s no denying that Slavoj Zizek provokes deep thought and discussion with his often controversial views on everything from the state of politics and the mainstream media to the meaning of real love and now the validity of religion through his new book with the provocative title Christian Atheism How to Be a Real Materialist. Well, keeping an eye on the upcoming US elections, as well as the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Hamas, professor Zizek sees a world where we can only start to understand what’s going on once it starts to disintegrate, and where, quote, good old capitalism isn’t what it used to be. On this episode, Riz Khan speaks with the man some see as a celebrity philosopher to find out more. A paper edition of Zizek's book 'Too Late To Awaken: What Lies Ahead When There Is No Future' published by Seven Stories Press is out on January 14th 2025. _ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alarabiya.english Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlArabiya_Eng Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alarabiya_eng/ Like us on Google+: https://goo.gl/L5Nqcx Al Arabiya English website: https://english.alarabiya.net/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://goo.gl/fQ0RkI __ The English site of the Arab world's leading news channel #zizek #israel #gaza #interview

Slavoj Žižek compare Buddhism and Psychoanalysis and He is criticizes Ideology and Religious features in Buddhism

"Fantasies of Capital: Alienation, Enjoyment, Psychoanalysis" — A Jnanapravaha Mumbai Conference (December 16 - 18, 2016) Day 2 / Session 3 — Slavoj Žižek, "The Real of the Capitalist Illusion" Abstract: Lacan begins the eleventh week of his seminar Les non-dupes errent (1973-4) with a straight question directed back at himself: "what was it that Lacan, who is here present, invented?" He answers the question "like that, to get things going: objet a." Objet a has a long history in Lacan's teaching, it precedes for decades Lacan's systematic references to the analysis of commodities in Marx's Capital. But it is undoubtedly this reference to Marx, especially to Marx's notion of surplus-value /Mehrwert/, that enabled Lacan to deploy his »mature« notion of objet a as surplus-enjoyment (plus-de-jouir, Mehrlust): the predominant motif which permeates all Lacan’s references to Marx’s analysis of commodities is the structural homology between Marx’s surplus-value and what Lacan’s baptized surplus-enjoyment, the phenomenon called by Freud Lustgewinn, a “gain of pleasure,” which does not designate a simple stepping up of pleasure but the additional pleasure provided by the very formal detours in the subject’s effort to attain pleasure. The point of this homology is not to search in Marx for the origins of Lacan’s theory, but to explore how reading Marx’s critique of political economy through Lacan enables us to reactualize Marx, to conceive the structure of the self-propelling circulation of capital (“money which begets more money”) as the fundamental fantasy of capitalism, fantasy not in the sense of subjective illusion but in a much more radical sense of a fiction which structures our social reality itself.

It feels great that I keep learning about new amazing people I didn't know before. It also feels sad that I didn't get to know them sooner.

Hi guys, in this video I try to explain Slavoj Žižek’s political alignment test, in which he argues that there are two ways of viewing the political. If you believe that politics is about consensus, you are right wing. Whereas if you believe it is about a battle for hegemony between left and right you are thereby left wing. In this video I also try to explain someone the ideas and concepts that influence this argument. Next week I’ll do a longer take on this in the lecture.
