Today we're discussing Zizek's 2005 book "Interrogating the Real", and his afterword on Lacanian ethics. What does not giving way relative to one's own desire mean? How does Lacan's maxim on desire contrast with Buddhism, and its conception of desire? Join us on our Discord by subscribing to the Patreon! We've got ongoing book and film-clubs, and our upcoming reading series with Matt Flisfeder on Žižek's "For They Know Not What They Do", beginning in October. https://www.patreon.com/zizekandsoon
