I now have enough Lacan to understand what zizek is saying here. Prior knowledge as the condition of its own reality, the gateway to the idea and concept discussed.
The real is the obstacle itself, and the condition of possibility
Looking for the real is like looking for the dark with a flashlight.....
Ii’s just natural for some concepts to be defined tautologically if they can only be understood by and within a whole network or system of concepts.
Systems require axioms
Lao Tzu in Dao de ching describes Real as sth you cannot describe, you can only find it's manifestations and it's run everything in universe. He was before you.
Where can we find the full interview?
We’ll upload all the clips eventually
@@ZizekandSoOn Great, thanks!
Did you upload the clip or are you able to indicate the reference or source?
Not well explained, on a pretense that its impossible to explain well. Note the same circular logics.
Couldn't the Real be defined as nature-as-such, nature in itself? IOW the entire realm of "what happens" behind and before and beyond any attempts to symbolize or contextualize it?
It 'could' if it helps you to understand it, but attempting to define the Real (positively) is in and of itself a problem.
Perhaps it would line up with the Hard Problem of Consciousness. Is this why Zizek is so interested in quantum physics?
In some sense that is what the Real is, it is that indefinite background to our experience which exerts a pressure on us. However you fall in the trap of trying to define the real. The idea that there is such a thing as nature-in-itself is but a concept, and as such it isn’t what the Real is (since the real is what isn’t and can’t be symbolized!)
