The poets name is Paul Celan. He was a german-speaking jew from Rumania. He is best known for his poem "Todesfuge" (in english "death fugue") where the sentence "der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland" (Death is a master from Germany) comes from.

In relation to his comments on the grey eminence, I am reminded of the account of Richelieu and how he came to match his various emissaries to the tasks he wanted to accomplish. The story is that he would lead his various potential new employees into room with a large table. On the one end of the table were pictures of horrible things. On the other end were pictures of beautiful things. If the person in question went to look at the horrible images, he would not send them on missions that required that the do horrible things. If they went to the end of the table with the beautiful things, he would send them on the missions that required they do horrible things.

The point in the lecture where he says that throughout poetry it is posible to see a lead into a social movement remained me at this poem that say more or less “ Mexico I believe in you because you smell at tragedy , perhaps because you laughter too much , because you know that the laughter is the cover of a deepest sadness” So this relates also at the point that it was stablished here , that when a society had the capacity to laught at themselves in the self criticism of their politician and social believes is a healthy way to had a valve of pressure that relief that hostility perhaps that could easily fester without this efficient social mechanism .

His "take"? He has no take on anything. He mentions the term "language games", then uses some phrases to link it with "I claim, this, that he became much more radical than with these language games", then he forgets where he was going, says the word "certainty" (probably alluding to "On Certainty" where W uses some metaphors to show how different notions of certainty and justification are in play and tries to show where traditional epistemology goes wrong) and he repeats that W claims "families of language games" (still without making any points) and finally goes on to say that he himself introduces the void to supplement W's language game theory. How the fuck is this ever construed as a "take on Wittgenstein"? And how did he answer the question, i.e. how he deals with W's arguments and developments of neuroscience that shows the mind to be less than nec. unified, counter to Cartensianism.

But I don't think of him as a philosopher, since he has no rigor in his reasoning, he provides no explanations, elucidations or conceptualizations of philosophical matter, and a lot of his output is, and I mean this in the most literal sense, completely meaningless and incoherent. For instance his "take" on W. The only thing I reacted to was the fact that people mistake his showmanship for philosophical thought. I believe it is wrong to accept any of that stuff as applications of any historical (or theoretical) philosophical thesis or method, and it is harmful for the subject if people start mistaking this for philosophy.

Lol, I don't keep philosophical company by sharing my opinion on show men on youtube. I work professionally with various topics within the field, so I hardly need an american lover of wacky gimmicks to advice me. Perhaps you should try out some coherent stuff and realize what the term means before making a judgement about the internal consistency and meaningfulness of Zizek! That his stuff is meaningless and incoherent follows directly from the mambo jumbo itself. And I have now read 5 pages in 2 of his books, and I kept the opinion intact...

Not sure if this maps in psychoanalitic terms but I always saw a link between 'sentimentality' and extreme distanced 'violence' at least on a socio-cultural level. The excuse for the violence is the inner sentimental nature that values the object of sentimentality over the consequences of a distanced violence, (desensitized or whatever), or maybe a resensitivization of the that inner idealization drives the denial of external responsibility.

Yet over time, his shows always become what they were satirizing, unironically. And the reality is that they were always just that. The irony is a way of trojan horsing cynical viewers into becoming invested in something they think they don't like, but actually do.

Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

this is just so legit. i love him

Please can you enable transcripts! A marvellous talk.

To pay a lot of money to watch this old man talk about the movies he has seen - this is the true ideology.

Breaking the waves -my favourite

He is pointing out that one can use the concept of the greater good to justify to ones conscience ones own evil actions.

i got a feeling hes gonna struggle now that we must avoid touching our faces.

he is super duper!

Made some good points. I agree with his idea (can't remember his actual words) that you can believe in something but your brain does it's best to ignore the belief if it doesn't agree with the reality it wants.

Its a cognitive bias, confirmation bias

Fell down an interesting KZread rabbit hole here. Thanks for the video

On buddhism and magic pills: I agree with Zizek that morality is not a part of achieving enlightenment. Troughout the years I've met many people who took a lot of psychedelic drugs, namely LSD and psylocibin mushrooms, and I've read a lot about historical figures who did so as well. With all of these experiences I can say one thing - achieving an ego death and observing the world through the lens of enlightenment did not switch the moral basis of anyone who took these drugs. What happened to all these people, is that it made them more radical in these moral values. By that i mean that people who were compasionate became compasionate to the point of believing that through giving eveyone these drugs we would achieve world peace, end of poverty and so on. But conservatives were an entirely different story - they were even more dedicated to their ideas. There weren't as many of conservatives who took those drugs as progressives of course, not today (although I've met some, and I can tell you that while not most radical politicaly speaking, they were the most radical in explanations why they were right, and the most sure of it, and actually most coherent), but historically I encourage you to look into Ernst Junger - a wehrmacht officer who invented the term psychonaut, the history of neonazis taking psychedelics and in these days Joe Rogan - a conservative who's known for taking DMT. Ego-death does not ensure you will be a good person. It allows you to reinforce your beliefs with a new argument, and a very strong one at that.

This is one of the best presentations of this great European philosopher. As he always confesses, as he did when he came and addressed a forum in Bombay, he is at his very best when discussing theory. In his facile system of referencing, professor Zizek casually brings in the thoughts of such disparate thinkers as Levinas and Lacan quite effortlessly, merging their positions seamlessly into his own presentation.

It's actually insane his breadth of knowledge l

Life changing thoughts slavoj

From my little knowledge of Tibetan Buddhism, I see a couple of problems with his critiques: 1- Buddhism does not start just with suffering, it starts with the ignorance of that suffering too, when you’re trapped in the eternal cycle of birth and death… 2-Bodisatva is not a fully enlightenment state. The compassion to the suffering of beings is the last link to this world.

Then there's Therevadin Buddhism and it's critique of the Mahayana Bodhisattva concept. And the concept of the Sangha. Japanese Zen is like an off shoot cult of a previous offshoot cult of Buddhism. And even then I still have a lot of respect for Zen Buddhism.

this is the second talk of Zizek i hear, the first was him vs. Peterson and as a Bavarian iam astounded how often (in a Philosophical Manner) he talks about the 3. Reich, i never thought about it as an Philosophy rattern then an Ideology. i will look into that. Thanks Slavoj

1:37:32 he finally gets Buddhism right about falling into the world per Kojin Karatani. Buddhism deals with ideology by referring to it as “views”, embraces ideology by modeling it as stages and offers different remedies for each stage until you are able to fall into the world.

I'm Glad that you are still studying Slavoj even though you despise him. Ive seen your comments on other videos of his.

Yes Zizek like this hyperactive in his mind and that is being projected on his body language. Thats completely normal. Some people can only achieve this state with coke, Zizek does it nromal just like that! :-)

"You need religion to make good people do bad things". Dude lost me on Gangnam Style then pulled me back with a Hitchslap.

1. One of the most brilliant lectures I have ever heard. 2. The vicious comments, that seem to be trying to outdo one another (in banality) while imagining they have hit their mark, taught me something I needed to face and come to terms with.

Zizek is so pure

38:39 I love those unexpected observations.
