- Dec 9, 2018Well, Will, I've read some Zizek -- and he just doesn't impress me. He doesn't seem worthy to untie Hegel's sandals. I will agree this far, however -- that in the case of Zizek's own writing:"...‘originality’...is only a bad idiosyncrasy."All best,--Paul----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In fact, the chapter in question is the most interesting in this interesting book. It is the most underlined and margin-commented, personally. You might read it sometime. As for originality,
"For people are commonly accustomed to understand by ‘originality’ only the production of peculiarities, proper precisely only to the individual, which would never enter anyone else’s head. But in that case this is only a bad idiosyncrasy."
Best,Will

WIll,OK, but Zizek's wasn't an original point. Hegel's point was original -- and more interesting.Happy Holidays,--Paul-----------------------------------------------------------------On Friday, December 7, 2018, 1:11:09 PM CST, Will Sinda eupraxis@...

Zizek’s further riffing on the matter and invocation of Hegel was not to impute that idea to Hegel himself, but to make a broader point, that being the unity implicit in the supposed subsequent stages of development.Will - << Previous post in topic Next post in topic >>
