"The liberal idea of tolerance is more and more a kind of intolerance. What it means is 'Leave me alone; don't harass me; I'm intolerant towards your over-proximity."
"I prefer the honest pervert to the fake moralist."
"We are condemned to be free."
"Tolerance is precisely the problem. It is the form of ideology."
"The ultimate lesson of The Interpretation of Dreams: reality is for those who cannot sustain the dream."
About Slavoj Zizek (born 1949)
Slovenian philosopher and cultural theorist whose Lacanian readings of ideology, film, and pop culture (The Sublime Object of Ideology, 1989) made him the most-cited continental philosopher of the 21st century. Closely associated with Alain Badiou (French Marxist philosophical contemporary) and Judith Butler (post-structuralist peer in gender theory). For an intellectual contrast, see Jordan Peterson, Canadian psychologist and 12 Rules for Life author — The 2019 Žižek-Peterson Toronto debate — billed 'Happiness: Capitalism vs Marxism' — sold out a 3,000-seat hall. The canonical contemporary 'continental Marxist vs Anglo-conservative-psychologist' clash, with diametrically opposed views on the political function of meaning-making.
The standard scholarly entry points to Slavoj Zizek's work: Tony Myers (Edinburgh, cultural theory) — Slavoj Žižek (2003); Glyn Daly (Northampton, political theory) — Conversations with Žižek (2004, with Žižek). These are the works graduate seminars cite when teaching Slavoj Zizek.
