If nothing nihiliating in Heidegger names “self-relating negativity,” in Hegel, then obviously this turn of Heidegger is departing from the cave where Zizek stands whimpering about the "something that does NOT (and cannot ever) appear" (in the cave) as if Heidegger was not aware of this. Ridiculous. <br /><br />I agree that there is a question of tone more then content, but is there even a question of tone? Since Heidegger is extremely critical of beings being strangled by das Man's increasingly hellacious hold. <br /><br />Actually Jelinek is Heideggerian and Zizek doesn't understand this. <br /><br />I greatly admire Lacanian psycoanalysis and its luxuriant place beside we who are seduced and dazzled by the figures of the the cave.<br /><br />Wrongheaded or not I will end my spiel by saying that Zizek is trying to rescue his psychoanalytic troop and is in this reactionary and obscurantist, and shall never become a philosopher. <br /><br />One last example: "Language as the “big Other” is not an agent of wisdom to whose message we should attune ourselves"<br /><br />Zizek idiotically misses the point here. One searches language in order to go underneath oneself and as a would be destroyer of our own wisdom by learning its undermost origin. Zizek mistakes Heidegger's deep regard and respect for our forerunners and the even the cave itself that would left to its devices become Absolute Cave Spirit, he mistakes this for the wonder proper to the task of the questioner who would think. He mistakes the preparation in the cave for the journey itself, in his typical pedestrian fashion.<br /><br />The Carnap quote is also stupendously inane, for the degree in which it is inappropriate, and proves without a doubt that Zizek is clueless.<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the trouble, but this rant helped me to see Zizek's mistake more clearly. As I hadn't fully noticed it before. Unconscious paradigms or sheer willful misreading or tactical ploy for Slovakian Lacanisnism, hard to say for sure.ethnotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030233529152136664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-157110749330008803.post-52768565617159472422012-02-27T03:34:23.245-08:002012-02-27T03:34:23.245-08:00Yeah, 70 pages might be a bit much for a blog comm...Yeah, 70 pages might be a bit much for a blog comment.
