[Quoting \u017di\u017eek]\u00a0 There are, roughly speaking, two philosophical approaches to an antagonistic constellation of either\/or: either one opts for one pole against the other (Good against Evil, freedom against oppression, morality against hedonism, etc.), or one adopts a \u2018deeper\u2019 attitude of emphasizing the complicity of the opposites, and of advocating a proper measure or their unity. Although Hegel\u2019s dialectic seems a version of the second approach (the \u2018synthesis\u2019 of opposites), he opts for an unheard-of third<\/em> version: the way to resolve the deadlock is to engage oneself neither in fighting for the \u2018good\u2019 side against the \u2018bad\u2019 one, nor in trying to bring them together in a balanced \u2018synthesis\u2019, but in opting for the bad side of the initial either\/or. Of course, this \u2018choice of the worst\u2019 fails, but in this failure it undermines the entire field of alternatives and thus enables us to overcome its terms.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>( Slavoj \u017di\u017eek Presents Mao on Practice and Contradiction<\/em>, 2007. 12)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bryant, Levi R. “\u017di\u017eek\u2019s New Universe of Discourse: Politics and the Discourse of the Capitalist” International Journal of \u017di\u017eek Studies 2.4 (2008): 1-48.
