Down with ideology? Talk with Slavoj Žižek | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

He is considered philosophy's enfant terrible, provokes those on the right and on the left and analyses events from the perspective of Marx and Hegel. Above all, Slavoj Žižek is hip, and has been for decades. The eloquent all-rounder defends his ideology criticism on The Finest Hour - Philosophy.

For Slavoj Žižek everything is ideology: whether capitalism or tolerance, Islam or simply day-to-day life. Buying a mobile, choosing clothes, toothpaste - it is all cloaked in ideological terms. Therefore for him, Marxist social criticism is not a thing of the past, it is more current than ever.
Where before people used to be blinded by religion, today they are subjugated by technocracy and capitalism, Žižek finds. Nevertheless, the Slovenian philosopher holds on to the idea of truth and advocates human rights and Eurocentrism. He explains how all this fits together in his conversation with Barbara Bleisch.

@kyleperry1969 5 жыл бұрын

I just recently started diving into Zizek about a month ago. He can be hard to decipher at times as he's so sporadic in delivery and slips into many many tangents. Sometimes his main point can be hard to pin down but regardless, his stream of philosophical consciousness is something quite amazing to behold. I appreciate his particular style of criticism due to the fact that he knows how to ruffle up feathers but just in the right way to make you think instead of reacting in ideological defense. I'm treading these waters lightly but this seemingly shallow stream is proving to be far deeper than I honestly would have wanted. You have my attention but I'm not quite sure what to make of you yet Zizek... Time will tell. I think a debate with Jordan Peterson is exactly what the internet needs right now.

@NewGameMultimedia 5 жыл бұрын

Jordan Peterson is not on the same level as Žižek... and I think you're looking this "debate" as a binary battle of intellectual wits you're missing the point. Žižek has described Peterson in the past as a "trendy" philosopher only speaking half wittingly on any forefront topics. Peterson has actually said he "skims" through things only scratching the surface then making decisions based on a minute amount of information.

@CitizenSnips314 5 жыл бұрын

What a fantastic interviewer. It’s so rare to see someone able to truly challenge their subject in an interview without interrupting too much or being combative. She was assertive and held her ground, but the entire time I felt it was because she had a true curiosity and couldn’t stop until she got to the bottom of what she was asking about. Also, I can’t help but agree with Zizek - a beautiful woman indeed! Zizek was brilliant per usual.

what an excellent interviewer! i am a huge fan of Slavoj Zizek, was even lucky enough to meet him and talk to him. however, I rarely find an interviewer, who makes his ideas pop and truly is a partner for a discussion with him. excellent piece of journalism! subscribing now to the channel, hoping to get more content like this in english :)

How often do you see a profound, non-aggressive philosophy chat on normal TV? Amazing! Thank you so much.

Even if you don't agree with Zizek's answers or interpretations, you have to concede to his underlying premise of asking the right questions. Without asking the right questions, you will only find the incorrect answers.

One of the clearest and most exhilarating interviews I've seen with Zizek. Thanks.

I'm guessing that the interviewer regrets sitting so close to Zizek; it's like interviewing a lawn sprinkler.

What a beautiful set. and what a beautiful set of questions knowing very well that he can just talk alot of terminology, she's guiding him into getting into a little bit more

Der Mann ist eine Wucht. Er ist wie eine Frucht, die über das Hören und Sehen verzehrt wird. Die Moderatorin steht ihm auf Augenhöhe. Das ist sehr beachtlich angesichts ihres wuchtigen Gegenübers.
