I haven't read any Lacan or Hegels. How fucked am I?
not very if you understand the basics of the real/symbolic etc
zizek is literally a comedian, he writes enterntaiment for people who know philosophy
WHY would you read a book about Hegel wiothut reading Hegel?
What /is/ the difference between the real and the symbolic?
I mean really
`>>7404847
you can talk about the symbolic
it's hard to explain

I was under the impression it was a primer to Hegel's work with some insights to Zizek's own philosophy as well.
>>7404874
man /lit/ is a cringe-fest today
it's the complete opposite of a primer
he's pretty much forwarding a brand new interpretation of hegel that responds to and rejects all of the previous and current work being done on hegel
if you're planning to read this to pretend like you understand hegel, you're going to make a fool out of yourself, because no only will you not understand a lick of what he's saying--though you will swear you "get" the pop culture references!--but you'll be forwarding a unique and unorthodox view of hegel that bears little resemblance to all hitherto scholarship

Trust me, I've studying Hegel for some time now and after reading a few parts of this Zizek book it only made things worse.
>>7404874
Jean Hyppolite, I think, is a good place to start with secondary literature on Hegel.

Neither forget Zizek completely nor be to hasty to read him, focus yourself on Hegel for a while.

Thanks! Off to the library I go.
All of Hegel or just a few selected texts? I don't want to be a dilettante, but I'd hate to read something that is without value to me.

>own philosophy
That doesn't exist

Are you still here? Anyway, you can start with the Phenomenology, but be aware that everyone has trouble getting it it at their first reading, so don't give up.

I picked up the Philosophy of History, History of Philosophy, Phenomenology of Mind, and The Hegel reader. I think I'll start with the reader to get a nice overview of everything that's going on.
Shame they didn't have his book on aesthetics. Art has become incredibly interesting.

I've no interest in practicing psychoanalysis, but this seems as fine an introduction as any other. Thanks!

no problem. i didn't have an interest in the practice of psychoanalysis either but as an introduction to lacan it is the best i've found.
