Other than that he is funny, why does this guy matter? He's not brilliant or cutting edge. He's a clown.

>> No.7284457

why are you presenting clown as a contrary thing to being brilliant or cutting edge? why would you care for someone just because he's cutting edge and not because the value of his arguments?
maybe you should try reading his books instead of limiting yourself to the memes

Read Living in the End Times or one of his other books before spouting off, comrade.

Since I saw him talk about a film he had not seen, as if he had seen it, I ve stopped caring about anything he has to say.

his major debut was in 1989. I can happily say that I went the entirety of my undergraduate, masters, and PHD (all in philosophy) without having heard his name in a classroom setting even once.

I study in the exact areas he is supposedly at the centre of, and maybe two professors have ever even heard his name, and they dismiss him as a hack

Considering the incredibly disparate reports we receive from people studying in the fields of philosophy and literature in regards to who academia views as being of value and not being of value, this isn't a very good metric. I'm certain there's just as many anons who will say that their philosophy department loves Zizek or some shit.

I think I'll have to read his stuff because I cannot bring myself to pay attention when he speaks.

I've done an MPhil at Cambridge and he was in fact mentioned a couple of times during lectures, in passing, but not necessarily in a dismissive sense.

Not that I have a firm grasp of what he's really about though.

I'm a Phil major, and my Professor says he's very problematic and doesn't promote the cause of intersectionality enough. Basically if you like him then get the fuck back to /pol/
