    Love watching Zizek exersize restraint (or at least try). He's twitching with intellectual stimulation.

    The entire effect of Jean-Pierre Dupuy's statements and comments is lost because of his lamentable lack of knowledge in what I would call formal English. Zizek, as usual, carries the day with his forceful stand on the issues he chooses to raise.

    its a total shame because this should've been 6 hours long at the least, and truthfully it should've been a 2 season show with every episode being 1 hour and 30 mins. they cannot even beging to scratch the surface of a question before they have to move on- the materialism and commoditization of time will forever limit our understanding of reality.

    Mr. Zizek is inteestng in the sense thaat he is well read at least in 18th century. I am personally in Noam Chomsky's line of thinking and Rudlf Rocker. I study Medeval Radical groups so what these two men are aruging over is Orthodx and unorthodx. I support Christian Anarchism.

    +Cyrus Budd No I am very serious, and yes I have the Bible many times it is very good literature. Christ and Anarchism is not strange just read the Gospels it is there it is must most of not think the texts through: Christian Anarchists have been around for 2,000 years.

    I have to say here, the whole point of Marxist theory is Economic determinism. It's not Classical Liberals who beleived in economic determinism, The Enlightenment happened in Britain first because it became necassary to think outside the box and also the government was created from the beginning with the countries economic affairs in mind. People have no concept of Feudalism and what it is. When you have a very small isolated island which has no history of border desputes, very few resources and a relativley small population you are economically restricted. If Britain didn't have open trade and technology people would be living in mud huts within the month. Feudalism is an agricultural based economy where it takes huge populations producing very little out put. Religion is the science, philosophy, politics, rule of law and explanation for everything and the King/Czar/Kaiser claims divine right to rule as head of church and state. Public and private life was one in same and people wanted their privacy and their right to earn a living protected not just from criminals but from the state itself. Politics IS economics, there is also the military and the use of force which justifies its existence as 'Defence' but, other than upholding the law and ensuring accountability it is all economics. Do you know how, lucky, rich and privilaged you have to be to take that for granted to the point you think it's unimportant. Try telling the good people who clean your toilets for a living to put food on the table and pay the rent that their economically centric?? Everything costs money and it always has unless you barter which is inconvenient. You cant be free and independant unless you have the ability to pay your way. The main reason we took religion out of politics is to let people decide for themselves within in a legal framework what they wanted to beleive and all the religous persecution stopped, as soon as the state put the religion back in, Marxism and Fascism had the same function as religion did during Feudalism, the persecutions came back. The state need to stay out of telling people how to live and stick to nothing but economics.

    Hossein Gordji Really? You're surprised that EUROPEAN thinkers are still grappling with a 2000 year-old form of life? One that was located, for 3/4 of its dominance over human thought, in Europa? Yes, terribly surprised.
