    Pure gold, I love that it's such a current analysis, almost no one is talking about the fake authenticity yet. And it relates to what I was thinking about so much :) thank you

    Thank you for making these videos available for free. I'm interested and invested in learning about philosophy, but it is highly inaccessible to most people.
    Your explanation makes hard topics and often convoluted philosophical terms much simpler and easy to digest.
    Your content is very enjoyable. I'm probably going to binge watch everything you've done so far. :D
    Also, hello to you from Russia!

    You can look at Saint-Exupery quote as not embracing the imperfection but catching the essence. Especially when you apply it to objects. Its often used in design. You can add features indefinitely but it will distract from items purpose, will make it chaotic, when you strip the object to essencial features, all of them become purposefull and harmonic.

    All about holding it possible to conclude, to engage, to devote yourself, so all about negation of logic, morality, dignity. What stays is the inviting, the provoking, the joking of yourself, the world, even god.
    And believing as an expression of thankfulness for the precious and fragile and endangered gift of love, setting all the hope available into the "fact", that loss won't - in true, but irrational terms - mean just loss of love, but even in loss of love loss of loss itself, so that resurrection - in even more irrational terms - is, in the eyes of reality itself, a logical turn, a kind of wordless conclusion.
    Thanks for the video (Germany)

    I need an updated unglitched version or revisit of this entire video. I don't mean to be nagging or complaining-which means I'm going to or I already am. This could have been so much more replayabe if not for the technical issues you were continuing to have after trying to fix it.
    * sigh * There's a lot I can salvage though from what did come through. I'll just have to listen in small bites and think a lot more than I thought I would have to. So, i guess this makes me listen better. And think more. And not just consume and move onto the next piece of content to, consume without thought.
    Sooo.... Thank you. Really!

      Yes and no. I didn’t do a degree in philosophy but did a BA in post colonial theory, an Ma in cultural studies, and a PhD in politics (theory and IR focused). But that’s actually quite a common trajectory for continental theorists

      I’m sorry you felt that way, but this strikes me as unfair. I’ve posted more than 50 Žižek lectures to my channel, none of which include Žižek.

    • @julianphilosophy
      @julianphilosophy  2 роки тому +5

      But if it makes you happy I can change the title. How about ‘On Žižek’s theory of perfection?’ See new title. Hope that’s better.

      With 3 you can empathise how you are closer to perfection and you should stay there close to the perfection barrier

    • @manueljohn456
      @manueljohn456 2 роки тому +2

      I think it was 5 ;) but i feel like the difference between 3/5 and 30 is absolutely crucial. 30 pounds more or less is a world of difference in many regards, often with actual benefits, looks-wise and health-wise. Being 30 pounds overweight and wanting to lose some of that has nothing intrinsically to do with perfection, just with improvement. Wanting to lose 3/5 pounds, on the other hand... is exactly the chase for perfection that zizek is talking about.
