Slavoj ZIzek: Was Hegel a SOPHIST? Truth is a STORY and a LIE! Less Than Nothing. Mindgasms

Newest Mindgasms Book Review on a paragraph in the famous Hegelian/Lacanian/Marxist philosopher, Slavoj Zizek’s book called Less Than Nothing. It’s about his claim that Hegel was somewhat of a sophist, according to Plato’s definition. He also talks about the idea of truth as immanent, meaning that we change it as much as it changes us. To Zizek, from the perspective of Hegel, we can see truth as a convenient fiction that allows us to effectively navigate through our lives. This leads to what Zizek calls the Pragmatic Contradiction, meaning that the philosophical Pragmatist definition of truth is paradoxically a lie.
Mindgasms Book Review on the book called Less Than Nothing, by the Hegelian/Lacanian/Marxist philosopher named Slavoj Zizek. The paragraph that I am discussing is a theological one about how Christianity is feminist because God and Jesus have psychologically feminine attributes, according to the psychoanalyst, Lacan. Zizek also describes Jesus’ role as being very similar to that of a psychoanalyst. I discuss a clip of him claiming that Christianity is an atheist religion in the same way that people saw ancient Greek Gods as metaphorical, as well.
