25 January 2013

Filosophy Fridays for your Saturday mornings!
Today's Daily Quota is a book review by the LA Review of Books - but with a bit of a twist.
Adam Kotsko touches on rockstar philsopher Slavoj Zizek with an empathetic light.

He discusses Slavoj's complex prose, his backhanded politics and his ideological approaches to discussions of ideology. If you haven't seen Zizek in action, please, please YouTube him. You'll be grateful you did.

This is a great article for those unfamiliar with Zizek's works. It adds another philosopher to your (hopefully) extensive cultural arsenal.
It compliments his style in a way that is different from most - it's not patronizing.
