"We are all living in the matrix, but we don't know it."
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.
