Episode notes

This chapter delves into the unique perspective of Zijek and his approach towards philosophy, emphasizing the importance of understanding his method before delving into specific issues. It explores the concept of human subjectivity and participation in social progress through political discussions, contrasting truth-seeking with fixed ideological perspectives. The chapter also highlights the presence of ideology in shaping individual realities and the importance of self-awareness to navigate one's ideological framework.

Today we give an introduction to the thinking of Slavoj Zizek-- at least as much as is possible in ~35 mins. The goal is for this to be a primer for the rest of the series.

Thank you so much for listening! Could never do this without your help.
