bolo reviewed Like a Thief in Broad Daylight by Slavoj Žižek
Devoured it, Regurgitated Some
4 stars
This book is relatively consumable for philosophy. I used it in my life to dip my toes back into reading philosophy and frankly its my first brush with a modern version of that classic essence. The topics are coursing and relevant, his accent and speech patterns penetrate the pace, and many of the points are formally disagreeable. In probably an enjoyable way. CONS: for myself who is cinema ILLITERATE the in depth: "let me explain the whole plot of a 3 hour movie to you in a crowded bar with loud music playing”, is a REAL annoyance. Nonetheless quick read, and something i feel my life is better for having read. Is he my new favorite philosopher guy?? absolutely not. Have i used his thought experiments as material for starting conversations, absolutely.
