The essence of Christ's character in the Gospels is portrayed as radical and madness rather than conventional wisdom. This suggests a departure from traditional wisdom's cyclical nature, embracing a fanatical approach to truth. Furthermore, incorporating Kierkegaard's perspective, the notion arises that there is a comical aspect to divine messages, encouraging a reinterpretation of sacred texts with humor and an open mind.
This week we're joined by Slavoj Zizek! We discuss his new book, Christian Atheism, Judith Butler, the mafia, and where to find a good diner in New York.
