Is there a good way to into Zizek or is he just a meme? >inb4

Why do you autists think you need a primer to every book you read?

Hegel

meme. zizek's movies are nice. he's pretty good at explaining shit. dont bother reading him though.

Yeah, I've noticed if you actually try to do that you'll just get stuck in an infinite regression because someones gonna recommend a primer for the primer and so on.
It seems a silly thing to fixate on.

literary history doesn't proceed infinitely into the past

>>9703980
A regression to the Greeks then.

stream Zizek, don't read Zizek

Dude literally watch his talks and listen, if you can't understand you're a brainlet forever.
Maybe read hegel. But all you need is to understand the dialectic to understand zizek.
Sometimes he talks about lacan so if you care about that stuff read some lacan.
I mean he's one of the only -real- philosophers out there right now. Everybody's stuck in this bullshit self-defeating habermas practopoiesis post-metaphysics / non-reductive materialism stuff. Everyone else is going backwards and while I don't agree with zizek on everything he's the only one trying to go forward.

Go read it. You don't need a background in psychoanalysis, marxism or german idealism to understand most of it.

Actually this is some philospher you should read before Zizek. I think it's the guy he bases his definition of ideology off of. I can't remember who that is though. I'm not a big Zizek guy.
