Der Philosoph Slavoj Žižek ist einer der wortgewaltigsten Kritiker des Kapitalismus. Im Interview erzählt er, warum er wenig von den Protesten in London und Madrid hält.
In a recent essay, in which I attempted to map the generic modalities possible within the larger constellations of anti-utopia and dystopia, I argued for the existence of a distinct type of anti-utopia, which I termed “critical anti-utopia”
Bernard-Henri Levy, France's "rock-star philosopher," and Slavoj Zizek, the Slovanian "Elvis of cultural theory," will scrutinize the totalitarianisms of the past as well as those of the future, as they argue for a new political and moral vision for our times and investigate the limits of tolerance.Does the advent of capitalism cause more violence than it prevents? Is there violence in the simple idea of the neighbor? asks Zizek in Violence: Six Sideways Reflections.Are human rights Western or Universal? How is it that progressives themselves-those who in the past defended individual rights and fought fascism-have now become the breeding ground for new kinds of dangerous attitudes? asks Lévy in Left in Dark Times: A Stand Against New Barbarism - New York Public Library
Launched in January 2007, IJŽS is a peer-reviewed, open access academic journal. As its title unambiguously proclaims, it is devoted to the work of Slavoj Žižek, a Slovenian philosopher/cultural theorist.
