the power of the woman and the truth of islam ⇢

movementsandmoments:

An essay by Zizek. I agree with his political stance and can appreciate the philosophical perspective from which he views the issue. But I’m not sure about his theological reading of Islam, since I have no expertise in it. Still, an interesting read.

Insofar as we tend to oppose East and West as fate and freedom, Islam stands for a third position which undermines this binary opposition: neither subordination to blind fate nor freedom to do what one wants - both of which presuppose an abstract external opposition between the two terms - but a deeper freedom to choose our fate.

The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance…logic can be happily tossed out the window.

Therein resides the terrible risk of revelation: what “Revelation” means is that God took upon himself the risk of putting everything at stake, of fully “engaging himself existentially” by way, as it were, of stepping into his own picture, becoming part of creating, exposing himself to the utter contingency of existence. True Openess is not that of undecidability, but that of living in the aftermath of the Event, of drawing out the consequences- of what? Precisely of the new space opened up by the Event. The anxiety of which Chereau speaks is the anxiety of the act.
Today’s propaganda- not just in the narrow political sense- targets the very possibility of such Openness: it fights against something of which it is not itself aware, something to which it is structurally blind - not its actual counter-forces (political opponents), but the possibility (the utopian revolutionary-emancipatory potential) which is immanent to the situation: The goal of all enemy propaganda is not to annihilate an existing force (this function is generally left to police forces), but rather to annihilate an unnoticed possibility of the situation. This possibility is also unnoticed by those who conduct this propaganda, since its features are to be simultaneously immanent to the situation and not to appear in it.
This is why enemy propaganda against radical emancipatory politics is by definition cynical- not in the simple sense of not believing its own words, but at a much more basic level: it is cynical precisely insofar as it does believe its own words, since its message is a resigned conviction that the world we live in, if not the best of all possible worlds, is the least bad one, so that any radical change can only make it worse.

Religion is for people who have never matured in their understanding of ethics. Religion teaches a child’s view of ethics, that ‘being good’ means ‘obeying your parent.’ It gives a moral blank check to those bold enough, dishonest enough, to claim to speak for God. Atheism means looking at ethical questions as an adult among other adults, considering ethics as a means of maintaining peace and cooperation among equals, so that all may pursue happiness within the limits that ethics defines.
