Good question

Literally who?

Who?

Prove his presuppositions are incorrect, then demonstrate why Christianity's is refined and Boom! Zizek is a Christian.

>Prove his presuppositions are incorrect

You see, here is where Zizek would *sniff* disagree with *sniff* the presumptions you use to disprove his presumptions.

Not really tough. He's into dialectics and the like, if I remember. I'm not sure if logical argument works on that.

>>576287

he's into his paycheck and career, become a christian would sink it

>>575409

John Milbank tried. Zizek is a Hegelian and a Lacanian. He's literally a closeted Catholic.

*sniff*

This post took too long.

I'm disappointed.

>>576355

what… how?

Hegel God is immanent and that just right from the start, gets you as far as you can get from catholic doctrine

>>576074

"convert someone, who devoted his life to postmodernist sophistry and the subjectivity of truth and regards god as a dead metanarrative"

good luck with that

>>576480

Hegel is heterodox Christianity but Lacanians are all ex-Catholics who wallow in self-pity and a secularised form of confession. For Lacanians, Catholicism would solve everything except that they've convinced themselves from the outset that it can't be true.

Except that he's Hegelian and Marxist, which isn't post-modern, and it's a lot more theist than Heidegger and Derrida and Foucault. For Zizek, God is temporally dead and will be resurrected in the communist state. Zizek and all orthodox Marxists are still profoundly in the "meta narratives are real" phase, they just think something like atheist Christianity is the end-goal of history.

Talk really fast

Shhh, don't use logic. Only feels here.

>>576070

He has defended Christianity, at least aspects of it, and claims to a "Christian Atheist". He's certainly not Jewish.

Also,

>Marxism is materialist

>Engels coined "dialectical materialism"

>Marx shoehorned Hegelian dialectics into materialism

>Hegel was literally a German idealist

>Marx used his powers of Talmudic word-bodge to meld idealist philosophy to materialist social theory

Mix cocaine in the communion wine.

I agree it was a sloppy classification, but the gist of what I was saying was that it is impossible to return to a pure practice from the perspective of philosophical parochialism. God doesn't need our theorising.

Lacan is a structuralist and you're well aware of his influence on late 20th century ideas, Zizek is as asthenic as any other theorist in that regard.

He's very strange. It may not look like it, but one of his hopes is a worldwide Reign of Terror.

In regards to Christianity, he's written a book with an Anglican priest:

His other book, The Puppet and the Dwarf, argues that Christianity was the first "revolution". By revolution, he means it in the same sense as Communist revolution.
