The passage through negativity, or from self-renunciation to revolution? Kierkegaard and Zizek on the politics of the impassioned individual
- Author
- Sophie Wennerscheid (UGent)
- Organization
- Abstract
- The chapter points out how and why Kierkegaard's thoughts have been made topical today by contemporary political theorists like Slavoj Zizek. The main argument is that the affinity between Kierkegaard and Zizek is to be found in their belief in the power of the passionate single individual, who with undampened desire intervenes in the social or political order - and thereby provokes a far-reaching disruption.
- Keywords
