fantasy on Huffduffer

Watch 45 minutes of Žižek's best takes and perspectives over the last years on the occasion of the famous philosopher's 75th birthday. From highlighting our need for hypocrisy and our tendencies towards cynicism, to railing against art Biennales and declaring his desire for passionate love, Žižek comments on the large and the small in his typical engaging and unapologetic style. He is not afraid to ask any question about the human condition: what can quantum physics and video games tell us about how to live? Should we give in to pleasure or accept that it is unachievable? Does neuroscience dismantle the possibility for free will? 00:00 Introduction 00:56 Why do we live in a cynical age? 10:40 Do we need hypocrisy? 24:22 Are we capable of loving? 34:26 Is philosophy a false guide? #zizek #philosophy #morality Debates and talks featured: Heaven in disorder (Hay, 2022) https://iai.tv/iai-academy/courses/info/?course=heaven-in-disorder Moral facts and moral fantasy (Hay, 2022) https://iai.tv/video/moral-facts-and-moral-fantasy Philosophy for cynical times (IAI Live,2020) https://iai.tv/video/philosophy-for-cynical-times-slavoj-zizek The end of good and evil (Hay, 2023) https://iai.tv/video/the-end-of-good-and-evil The game of life (Hay, 2023) https://iai.tv/video/the-game-of... === Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCiYBUx7zQE&list=WL&index=16 Downloaded by http://huffduff-video.snarfed.org/ on Tue Mar 26 09:03:36 2024 Available for 30 days after download
