Tavis Smiley Wednesday
Did anyone else watch his interview with Philosopher Slavoj Žižek? I'm interested in what your thoughts are on his theory about the election. Thanks in advance.
The “world’s most dangerous philosopher” reflects on the rise of Trump, the fall of the Democratic party, and the future of the global left.
Slavoj Žižek is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic. He is a professor at the European Graduate School, International Director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, Birkbeck College, University of London, and a senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. His latest and forthcoming texts include The Courage of Hopelessness: Chronicles of a Year of Acting Dangerously, Lenin 2017, and a revised version of his 2008 classic In Defense of Lost Causes.
