A professor parked his car at a university library, with volumes of Zizek and Lacan on his passenger seat, when he returned to his car his window was smashed and the seat was full of books of Zizek and Lacan.
So was the driver seat and the back seats
This is a crime.
They belong in the trash.
@@mentalitydesignvideo there was some obscure movement in Germany last century where they made possession of unpopular books a crime; more your taste?
@@christofthedead if it's restricted to these two and I get to march around in shiny jackboots and Boss drip.
Never formally studied philosophy but find this really well delivered and should be accessable to people who find say Zizek a bit confusing. Also I was expecting you to introduce a new Zizek lecture on Lacan , Tate and Avatar but from a few mins in I was anything but disapointed, also saves me reading the Slavoj which I dont have the time to ever acquire and read so thanks thanks and respect for putting them all for free on patreon - something I've not seen youtuber say for a long time.
Just pirate the books and read.
This was extremely fun; you've earned a new subscriber!
While challenging in places (there are some very abstract and confusing ideas herein), this was a fantastic lecture Julian. You have a new patron 👍
I've been ruminating on these subjects and pleased to find precise analysis and opinion.
the small jab at Heidegger's awkward expressions made me chuckle. Great lecture as always :)
This is crazy good man ! Dope analysis
Hi Julian, Thank you for yet another stimulating video.
I just had one suggestion: would you be able to add time stamps/chapters to your videos?
time stamps or chapters? eesh. you're asking a lot of a guy who can't even put a beanie over his bed head.
i’d love to see just an experimental video of urs where u dive into the analytic tradition, though ik it goes against ur MO
another great video btw
would you really like to see that? i'm no fan of Bertrand Russel, but i can imagine he would be oscillating in his grave at near relativistic speeds
@@selcotsimeht i would really like the see that. he can keep rolling he wont disturb anyone.
Having read Écrits and 7 seminars (ps I would recommend reading the seminars first) I can say that you have a choice, you can either read Freud then Lacan then Zizek although of course Zizek takes interpretive liberties, as does everyone ("every interpretation is a misinterpretation" -JD which is not to say x interpretation is wrong whilst yes x could be wrong)
Or
One could simply read Zizek then work backwards but whatever you do, if you like Zizek because he tries to fortify Lacan just know that Lacan says "be a Lacanian all you want, I'm a Freudian" ergo reading key text is important.
This is awesome man
a huge + would be, if you could make markers with the several topics in your videos. Most of the time I do not have the time to watch a full video at once, then being stuck if continuing. But very nice content!
oh, well, it's alright. you're sure to catch the meaningful bits of a sloppily constructed hour long "philosophical" ramble even if you only have moments to view it on your breaks from whipping up smoothies at your local gas station and/or service station.
Man becomes complete by its other half. Was that Plato?
Woman object t becomes Object T.
A symbolic element in relationships.
What happens in gay or lesbian relationships.
The same Lacanian dynamics still apply. The relationship is an affirmation of identity.
Your illustration from the Kings Speech really clarified it for me.
Like putting the last nail into a peace of furniture.
good furniture brings me a lot of peace. plato? i don't know. no one has taken his philosophy to mean literally anything for thousands of years because, unfortunately, it's all trash. what happens in gay or lesbian relationships? generally they fail or both parties cling to an identity that brings total unhappiness and ruin. the problem with those relationships is that they can't have children, and die alone, biologically unfulfilled, and without any form of wealth of relationships.
Ever heard of adoption?
what camera do you use?
really interesting. thank you
I don’t understand why the Platonic noumenon is said to be unknowable. That would beat the whole point of it, since the Forms are the principle by which things are knowable in the first place.
@Devon Hæbermän that’s exactly what I’m saying is wrong, the Platonic project would collapse. It can access it because the rational soul remembers the Forms and can thus know anything. Rather than knowing Forms through things that participate in them.
And that’s not even to mention someone like Plotinus who is of the opinion that the world Soul always remains connected to the general, unincarnate, Soul principle (which is connected to the Intellect that is the proper source of most Forms). Meaning our access to the Forms is never actually cut off.
Hello everyone, big ask, but would someone be interested in putting time stamps on this video? Would be a huge help! Thank you so much 🙏
Andrew Tate part is at about 25 mins I think
@@julianphilosophy Ok
@@sadface7457 thank you so much!
@@julianphilosophy It's going take me a while though.

Are you interest on a tool that auto summarize the contents of your video with time stamps? I can set up a colab notebook for you that use AI for this task. Or maybe you are against the usage of AI. I will be happy to contribute as I can to your task. let me know.
Need chapters
Reminds me of the late Victorian debate on cosmetics.
Forty years ago Sartre made me fall into a serious identity crisis. Now this comes along and I'm having a daja vu. Masculinity keeps bothering me. Great lecture, though.
If identity is bothering you read deleuze then come back to this, you'll feel much better
post priaya? where did that come from? Dud I miss something?
I heard as Post papaya.

It’s a term from classical Rhetoric

How is the family bourgeois? It's always the working class that care about that.
this. it's always funny how people associate random things like family and marriage with 'middle-class' when it's often the middle-class that cares the least about those things
wonderful analysis
can you do a video about why neither lacan nor Zizek address Nietzsche?
no he can't, nor will he ever, but it all amounts to Julian, Zizek, and their whole crew having nothing of substance to add to the development of the Western tradition, whatsoever
@@selcotsimeht 💀💀💀
Ok so maybe i misheard - when you say that Avatar I represents a return to simpler native times aesthetic... did you say SoCal? As in Southern California? Why is this a tradition of my area? I agree that i feel this way, but what does this have to do with SoCal?
Hey man, are you of portuguese descent?
Is a man's fantasy masculinity or the objects of it (cigars, women, etc)?
Good Q
Why don't you add subtitles in your videos .
It is possible that the viewers are watching from different parts of the world and needs subtitles.
@@roshanroxx the subtitles take a while to generate from the live video. Should be available in a few hours.
@@julianphilosophy it would be helpful if you add sub!❤
30:21 Foucault wouldn't have said something like that. That there needs to be a "liberation" of the subject. Especially in "The Will to Knowledge" ,it is his main task to argue AGAINST the repressive/liberation hypothesis of the dispositive of sexuality, where psychoanalysis is a contributing and influential part of.
Who's play doh?

many people believe Zizek is a postmodernist :D

Nor does he confuse with jargon when public speaking

It is comical. How much is made of a philosophy which resembles a great sigh of "oh well"
21:08 everytime you talk about liberal ideals or identitarian notions you say "and so on and so forth". That's a clear sign of watching a.lot of Zizek lectures. 😆
Never go full Zizek. 😅
Very interesting lecture, although I belive that argueing against naturalisim because there are some antisemetic people who feel comfortable with some of it´s ideas is a poor argument.
zizek was resurrected
The old dude
Play Dough?
Zizek rejects the current fixation on framing things under the category of masculinity, so I don't think you two have much in common. I agree with him by the way, the way it works rhetorically as a characterization of people's inner state is kind of pretty pernicious, myopic and can't be falsified. the audience for this kind of philosophy are almost unanimously big fans of it though.
it's No-Face!!!
I tried to listen to the lecture three times, but to be honest, I find it pretty tedious to follow you, because after each idea that you present, there's one additional sentence missing: the one that brings an example from real life or, at least, provides a simpler analogy to illustrate your idea, e.g. "Kant goes against Hume by doing this and that. SO, IN OTHER WORDS, Hume is sating xyz, but then Kant says pqr". This would make your lecture much more accessible. Just do a "recap" after each main point, using simple language.
Ah, this is driving me insane! I *NEED* to solve this problem! Pls help, anyone:
I agree that complete relativism is nonsense, that an identity needs something else to identify against - like how you need a surface to press against, if you want to write. I also agree that identity is not something meaningless that should be done away with, but something that has an impact on reality (even though it's not real itself) and matters. But I also like the idea that men exist, even if they desire men instead of women, or if they desire women but not wealth and physical strength. I want the categorization of man to be useful, which it isn't, if it's to restrictive and would leave out people who it would make sense to include. But at the same time it cannot be too inclusive, or it loses meaning. Now, does that mean I should be a gender-abolitionist? To recognize that identities and categoriztaion of sex and/or gender are always fuzzy and imprecise and always cause exclusion and confusion and thus should be done away with, because they're less useful than they are problematic? But I don't want to do that. I think there must be a way to make gender identities work. Because if not, then I must necessarily say to me and to anyone who self-identifies as man/woman/X that their sense of self doesn't matter and that's hurtful and highly problematic too. How do I solve this??
@Devon Hæbermän Ok?
That's a great question I am not qualified enough to answer that you have sparked interest for in me. I thereby leave this comment here in order to receive an update for anyone with any insight on this topic. Nonetheless, my intuition would be that the solution lies in empirical research, rather than a naïve more theoritical-based approach. The idea would be to find a model that includes everyone at first, then gradually creates categories as more data is gathered. But then again, I am not qualified to answer this question, and like you said, I would doubt the utility of such a model, even if it were a complete, ideal model would accurately categorize everyone. I guess that is what "gender studies" are all about.
@@williamjuru3778 If such a model would indeed accurately categorize everyone, it would be useful. But I don't know what you mean by "empirical research". Categories of gender are not something you can empirically discover by studying nature. Sex you can study empirically, but even that can get very complicated, but definitely not gender.
@@somedudeok1451 Oh you got me wrong, my bad for not being explicit enough. What I meant by "empirical research" would be something like surveying humans, and the more humans you survey about their perceived gender, the more accurate your data gets. But then you would have to collect a very big amount of data about each human you survey, and such a process would not be very efficient.
Also when I said that an ideal model that would accurately categorize everyone wouldn't be very useful, I meant that while it would be a good tool for a lot of people to be confident in their sense of identity, the idea itself of gender goes around the idea of "social construct". That means everyone you survey would answer according to their perceived view of self according to society, not that it would have any "real" meaning in a sense.
@@williamjuru3778 Yes, any survey could only ever test the people's subjective sense of gender identity. And it thereby runs into the fuzzyness-problem. It seems like there is no clear definition of the genders that would include all people that should be included.
"Lacan" please not "Lacon" or "Lacong".
hahahahaha
I came here to learn about Lacan but I really came away with an understanding that antisemitism is a philosophical rudiment of Naturalism. Lol ok.
Lacan seems to love to make broad statements that can neither be proved or disproved. It's not psychology. At times it sounds like made up nonsense. Basically Jordan Peterson for those with an IQ over 130.
Right, because Popper established the demarcation between science and pseudoscience via the property of falsifiability, specifically to exclude psychoanalysis and social sciences (more specifically, Marxism) from the purview of science. Michael D. Gordon discusses this in his book “On the Fringe” in the section on the demarcation problem.
@@cendyywarlos Lacan uncritically believed Freud far too often. The Oedipus Complex was silly. If you want to read him as a philosopher or great thinker that's fine.
@@Chris-xc1tm Lacan actually criticized Freud in many aspects. He also re-imagined the Oedipus Complex, which in a way critiqued it.
32:00 34:00 How can you get this right and still not understand poststructuralism?
You have to read more freud my friend.
what makes you think that?
@@xletix69 i was drunk when i wrote that, so i sound too cocky. I am sorry. But for what u remember, lacan may be answering to estructuralism. But most likely he is answering to post freudian from usa, and france. To Anna freud and the "psicología del yo"(doesnt know how is called in english). He is also answering psychyatric and medics. Lacan is a re-take from freud, so is important to have well understood freud before reading him.
@@Viciousotk1 this is in some ways obvious. I’m sure he’s read freud. On the other hand, lacan is to freud as heidegger is to husserl. So, not so much.
@@Viciousotk1"Psicologia del Yo" is "Ego Psychology" in english.
@@larss4119 On the other hand Lacan himself claimed to be a Freudian

was there ever anything deep about postmodernism?
