Erudite and comic, ironic and profound, philosopher Slavoj Žižek has travelled into territory where few of us dare to tread – and aged 76 he shows no signs of becoming less provocative.
Now he joins YouTuber, writer and podcaster Alex O’Connor, AKA the Cosmic Skeptic, for a deep dive into the making of the man widely known as ‘the most dangerous philosopher in the West.’ In this unique, no-holds-barred conversation, Alex and Slavoj will explore his life and intellectual journey, and thoughts on the current state of the world. What does he really think about AI and other new technologies of our age? Does philosophy need to reinvent itself in the wake of quantum physics? Is there hope left in an age of climate catastrophe, economic stagnation, and rising fascism?
Discover the answer to all, some, or none of these questions from one of the most outrageous and maverick thinkers of our time.
