Slavoj Žižek - Fear Thy Neighbor as Thyself

Talk hosted by The Institute for Human Sciences at Boston University
Fear Thy Neighbor as Thyself: Antinomies of Tolerant Reason, begins by asking, "What can philosophy do today? What can it tell the general public haunted by the problems of ecology, racism, religious conflict, and so on?" The role of philosophy, Žižek says, is not to provide answers, but to analyze how we view questions. "How we perceive a problem can itself become part of the problem," he says. To illustrate his various points, he uses such examples as Martin Luther King, Jr. (GRS'55, HON.'59), the doomed passengers on September 11's United Flight 93, and former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, among others. A question-and-answer session follows the lecture.

documentary on Slavoj Žižek

Paraphrasing: "What Rumsfeld didn't take into account are the unknown knowns; the Freudian subconscious. That I think is why you're in trouble in Iraq."

Zizek never fails to please.

his analysis of Rumsfelds March 2003 speech was hilarious. Rumsfeld, from march 2003: "there are known knowns, there are things we know that we know, there are known unknows... there are things that we know we don't know, but there are also unknown unknowns, there are things we don't know we don't know"

Moving this video to kulpims's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.
