Egads. Slavoj Žižek is not a madman nor even remotely summons your derogatory term “pop”.
He is one of the most topical and compelling minds in the Continental Philosophy stream.
As any good Continental Philosopher, he highlights the seeming invisible connections between the hegemony of an ideological system and the unfortunate byproducts.
You likely don't agree with him because he is precisely a counterpoint to the Rationalist Noam Chomskys out there.
Note, Rationalist is not an accolade here, but rather a reference to one of the other strains of philosophy.
- rdtsc 12y agoI have to say, I do like to listen to him but I treat it more as entertainment. Granted I also haven't read many of his serious books. I like he uses examples and jokes, it make for a very interesting listening experience. But a lot links and conclusions seem rather strenuous. Like you know looking at how toilets are designed and infer political bias from it, or you know Sound Of Music is Nazi Propaganda is disguise.
