What does /lit/ think of Slavoj Žižek?
I'm tired of reading old ass philosophers from the 19th century and want to into someone alive today.
>>6266507
Go watch his EGS lectures, always EGS with contemporary philosophy.

You already know how this thread will go
just read badiou
"Tiny white dicks and so on and so on"

Letsh make dee resht *sniff* of theesh three thish, my gott.
lets be serious for a moment
Pretty entry level, funnest one alive, worth a shot. Try First as Tragedy, Then as Farce, it gives you pretty good idea on his ideas.
Well he's definitely the undergrad's redpill so to speak.
He was for me back in 2007.
I don't wanna sound like a fucking hipster, but no one knew him at the time.
He kinda exploded after the whole Occupy-thing and from there on he is memesophy.
His book on Hegel is actually a must-have I find.

Also check out Jacques Ranciere (who is unfortunately less discussed on /lit/ compared to Badiou and Zizek)
http://www.egs.edu/faculty/jacques-ranciere/videos/
and last of all check out the EGS youtube channel
https://www.youtube.com/user/egsvideo
You can look for other talks and lectures in other places but EGS is top tier stuff where zizek actually brings out his theory unlike >>6266549

>I don't wanna sound like a fucking hipster
This is the most like a hipster you could possibly sound.

The fact that you can tire of ideas based on when said ideas were published, proves that not only have you not read "old ass" 19th century philosophy, but probably have never read any philosophy and just started this thread to stir up shitposting and memes about ideology
>>6266507
Zizek is most interesting for his ability to back various viewpoints throughout his career. He's flip flopped a lot of times (especially on Marx, but for obvious reasons), but really looks to stir the pot more than anything. He's an incredible devil's advocate.
That said, he's so twitchy in lectures. It's hard to watch.

I think he said that he "doesn't like Nietzsche" but he still quotes Nietzsche here and there in his writings. He used the idea of active and passive nihilism in his article in response to the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
A liberal, borderline fascist, who pretends to be a marxist for god know why.

I didn't know Sean Connery browses /lit/?!
>>6266566
His take on Hegel is garbage.
>>6266538
The thing ish, and heresh the thing, we can never know *sniff* what we do not already know. That ish; in a world of *sniff* chaosh *sniffing continues* shuffering, and - more importantly - anarchical order *shirt pulling and sweating are audible* what we can expect ished very little indeed *His wife arrives, cleaning his forehead with a handkerchief*. Lacan *he pushes his arms outwards, and then pulls them back in* BUILTSHUCH a thing to be dreamt of *his head, once noticeably nodding is now furiously shaking* in a schtructure without centre - mucsh to Derridash' dishapointmentsh - *Zizek's limbs begin to fit uncontrollably; the camera is thrown to the floor and a witness cries for help.
A slow mummer of 'Hegel' is to be heard, as Zizek suffocates from a collapsed nasal passage*
