Yeah, so before we dive in, we usually ask guests to kind of introduce themselves and kind of talk about a lot of their main academic interests.
Obviously, Zizek is a key one for you, but it also connects or you kind of connect it to a number of other fields.
So can you kind of...
give listeners a sense of what your overall philosophical interests are?
Yeah, you've definitely got a lot to work with.
So to kind of get things going and dig into the book, it's pretty technical, so we can't cover everything, but I want to kind of tease out some of the key arguments.
So to kind of start off, Zizek's attempt to recover and kind of reanimate Hegel throughout some of his more recent texts involves an attempt to recapture not just the moves he was making, but
kind of understand them in their own intellectual context.
And in the spirit of recovering this context, you spend some time in the beginning of the book kind of unpacking kind of in the wake of Kant and to some degree Spinoza, the discussions going on between like Schelling and Fichte and Jacobi.
Can you kind of unpack what the major questions were at this time that Hegel would be intervening in?
Yeah, so, right.
One of the most important aspects and one of the first things you kind of pick up with Zizek's reading of Hegel is his claim that Hegel ontologized Kant, although you also kind of point out how he kind of wiggles around.
But this was one of the most kind of central claims to your first book on Zizek about 10 years ago.
Can you kind of unpack what it means to kind of ontologize Kant or move from Kant to Hegel?
Okay, thank you for that.
One of the most kind of moving on, one of the most important elements you then turn to in Zizek's recent work is the nature of appearance as opposed to immediate perception.
So can you kind of unpack these two terms and what sorts of implications you draw for the relationship between beliefs and reality?
Right.
So moving on, you kind of start to pit various kind of contemporary variations of Hegelianism on
against one another.
