I agree, he is a people's philosopher, but why is this a problem? Without proper clarification this starts to sound rather haughty, wouldn't you agree? Dividing "High Culture" from "Low Culture," just amounts to conscious class division, and calling inquiring minds "sheeple," to reprehensible phariseeism.

Reagan is not a Name-of-the-Father. It means truth-- The same truth that the wall could not stand. Then the wall fell. You Lacanians need to study history. The entire Lacanian edifice is supported by the theorization of the human subject through Freud's concept of the unconscious. But the unconscious cannot be defined realized concretely. Nor can the Lacanian Real. Hence it is pseudoscientific nonsense that will fall just like the Berlin wall.

Now I see where the actor Jeff Daniels gets his image from.

exactly! This is why I love this guy.

I don't think it's fair to censor Daney's comment with votes simply because he doesn't yet understand Zizek. I doubt Zizek would approve of such an act. He is meant to be struggled with, no? :)

If you dont get this guy, stop talking untill you do! Hes not a whole lot more "deep" than a 15 year old asking lifes tough questions. He didnt acheive his acclaim by being too deep for the common sheeple.Just listen and listen with the intent of possibly having a little ah ha momment. Hes realy a peoples phillosopher. I know I cant spell. |
