AWARE OF HOW ALL MAIL WILL BE READ BY THE CENSORS, HE TELLS HIS FRIENDS: “LET’S ESTABLISH A CODE: IF A LETTER YOU GET FROM ME IS WRITTEN IN ORDINARY BLUE INK, IT’S TRUE. ” For Žižek, the joke encapsulates the underlying difficulties of speaking about the ideologies that establish everyone as subjects within society. A “subject” is someone who adheres to the rules and ideals governing language, communication and exchange (“the symbolic order”) without being fully conscious of them. Understanding ideology By ideology Žižek refers to the way in which the fiction of self-identity is constructed through the structure of language and, more widely, the symbolic order.
INDEED THEY USHER IN FURTHER CATASTROPHIC CHANGES BECAUSE THEIR MINDSET IS SO LIMITED, SIMPLY ADMINISTRATING THE SITUATION IN LINE WITH CAPITALIST INTERESTS. Thus, Žižek believes our present difficulties call for extreme measures in the name of the common good and as a way of combating ruthless market forces that are deepening the ecological crisis. Žižek’s manifesto for the earth To this end Žižek has drawn up an ecological manifesto boldly synthesizing into four points a robust programme of political change and collective action.
The idea of truth Unlike many philosophers and intellectuals today, Žižek is not afraid of the idea of truth. Žižek’s desire to speak of the truth is highly appealing and goes against the grain of recent intellectual and philosophical trends. When the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) famously declared at the end of the 19th century that “God is dead”, the idea of the truth – of some indisputable fact or reality – also fell into disrepute and became just as suspect as the belief in a set of God-given values.
