Hi Simon,
I appreciate the work you are doing as a “cultural pusherman”. Reading your blog is like wandering through titles at Behemot bookshop in Ljiubliana (my favourite bookshop ever!). Very inspiring. keep researching.

Hi, thank you for your last response. Since you are obviously deeply invested in Lacan, I was wondering if you have come across any reference that Lacan makes to “subjective destitution.” Zizek refers to Lacan in this regard in several places, but I have not been able to locate its original source in Lacan’s writing. Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you.

Comment on Peter Sloterdijk – Critique of Cynical Reason by Zog Kadare

“He has become a german BHL”

What is a “BHL” ?

He first attracted my interest with his fine ecological architecture commentary (and his dedication to future sustainable building see ‘Architecture of Change 2′). It seems some postulations concerning humanities future have outraged ‘the Left’ (or whomever). One must not (give way to the temptation) to be too much under inclined to pursue the suggestion (accusations) concerning the so called “Lefts” increasingly common and disturbing (prot0?-)’fascist’ attacks on free thought (under the guise of a cheap and false moral superiority, mostly). One should aspire (if only obliquely) to dissolve these categories Right/Left in favor of free exploration of ideas and the potentialities of humanity.

There is a review of this book in the newest edition of New Left Review by Anders Stephanson. It is an interesting read definitely, although the author doesen’t agrees in almost anything Susan Buck-Morss argues. http://www.newleftreview.org/?page=article&view=2827

Comment on Alain Badiou – Second Manifesto for Philosophy by Zog Kadare

Zog Kadare — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 01:01:37 +0000

\There, well beyond all moralism, in the clear expanse of the idea, life becomes something radically other than survival.\ Sounds rather lofty. I am sure Zizek will superlative the book to death like he does for all Badiou stuff.

Does anyone have information regarding an English translation of the Spharen series?

Comment on Judith Butler interviewed by Udi Aloni – As a Jew, I was taught it was ethically imperative to speak up by Zog Kadare

She is excellent.

I should like to offer a critique of her treatment of the music of Wagner and the ’singing’ of Nietzsche in her little book ‘Who Sings the Nation State’: This passage was philistinism and perhaps racist.

Peter Sloterdijk is now what he called in this book a cynic (vs kyniker). He has become a german BHL who first was somewhat sympathetic to the thought of the frankfurt schoolers and , curiously, to that of osho/bhagwan. When the frankfurt school fell out of favor of the german academia he became a social
darwinistic nietzschean and he`s now a member of a reactionary german think-tank http://www.frankfurter-zukunftsrat.de/Organisation/ . I guess Zizek has a soft spot for media savvy philosophers like P.S (Z. also kind of likes and promotes Boris Groys, another german philosopher who tries to bcome a succesful media philosopher).
The most repulsive act of P.S. for me was besides his media stunt concerning Habermas that earned him a lot of critique not only from left-wing philosophers/theorists his asslicking of the german ceo of the right wing publishing house Springer (it`s like the murdoch press) in his tv show.
Recently there was a very good rebuttal by Axel Honneth to P.S.`s most recent publicity stunt, to which P.S.
reacted with an inappropriate ad-hominem attack, that made P.S. look pretty bad.
