Zupančič: How to live a life worth living

Hello everyone, today I would like to propose that we spend the rest of the week engaged in a close reading of Alenka Zupančič’s book “The ethics of the real”, in which she lays out “a conceptual framework for an ethics which refuses to be an ethics based on the discourse of the master, but which equally refuses the unsatisfactory option of a (post)modern ethics based on the reduction of the ultimate horizon of the ethical to one’s own life.”

Or, how to live a life worth living?

Thanks for watching,

Julian

Zupancic (and you by extension) doing more for my mental health than most therapists I've ever come across. Or rather, the therapists were a 60% solution, and this is bringing it up to 85%

Hello Julian, have you thought about talking about the philosophy of Max Stirner?

[CamiloSalvadorMP]

Hello Julian, thank you for your work.
I was wondering about what happened to your lecture on surplus enjoyment/subjective destitution, zizek´s book. I was following it but I think I lost the thread. See you in patreon and all the best from Berlin.

How can I get access to the close reading? I don't see it on patreon.

[ThorianSaga]

my monkey brain activates as I see phylosophy + "How to" in the title

[michaelioffe]

What's the argument against being the best version of ourselves as that which gives life "meaning"?

[LiquidDemocracyNH]

You are very good at taking these ideas and putting them into plain English. I need you to explain every philosopher😂

[havadatequila]

Would Zupančič or Zizek have different ethics if they were practicing psychoanalysts?
