I like him. It's much better than the bullshit niceties and silence you get at the end of most university talks in America.

No no, I think that was breathing.

He's kidding. I thought his remarks were pretty funny. Zizek the born-again Christian communist.
camipco (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
He states clearly at the beginning that the "crude" materialism he's talking about is that of Dawkins, Dennet and Hitchens i.e. there are only phenomena observable by science. Obviously, the philosophical tradition of materialism has much more to say than this, but that isn't Zizek's topic here.

ahha, so many people are having problems with this..."its not materialism!" and youre all partly right. Its a materialist-theology.

he sounds like a clown for sure.. i mean, i see his obviousness of caricaturing zizek, which he also deserves, but boy.. can't this understand a philosophical position if it isn't 200 years old with clearly defined counterpositions? i actually thought that zizek and schopenhauer sounds pretty close to eachother sometimes, and i'm liking zizek more and more... would love to write him!

Why does that German guy always try to belittle all these great philosophers like Zizek, Badiou, etc. Who does he think he is?

thank you for the comment - please read the other answer below. the person you are referring to is wolfgang schirmacher, the program director of the media and communication studies department at european graduate school egs, a schopenhauer expert.as for egs, while we refrain from active marketing ;) - there shall be no barrier stopping you from sharing the learning experience here.
