In this dazzling new series, philosopher and cultural critic Slavoj Zizek interrogates key writings on revolution.
Robespierre's defense of the French Revolution remains one of the most powerful and unnerving justifications for political violence ever written, and has extraordinary resonance in a world obsessed with terrorism and appalled by the language of its proponents. Yet today, the French Revolution is celebrated as the event which gave birth to a nation built on the principles of enlightenment… So how should a contemporary audience approach Robespierre's vindication of revolutionary terror? Zizek takes a helter-skelter route through these contradictions, marshalling all the breadth of analogy for which he is famous.
"If the spring of popular government in time of peace is virtue, the springs of popular government in revolution are at once virtue and terror: virtue, without which terror is fatal; terror, without which virtue is powerless."—Robespierre

评分簡直無法和文學係的人上同一個課——原文裏所有符閤他們口味的內容，他們就說是羅伯斯庇爾的真話；所有不符閤口味的內容，就變成羅伯斯庇爾的修辭瞭。承認文本的復雜性、而不是把羅伯斯庇爾硬塞進齊澤剋的框架（諸如“極權主義隻是自由主義者立的稻草人”之類的，耳朵都聽齣繭子瞭），有這麼難麼？
评分The problem remains that how we can sustain the revolutionary state. In the end, terror might not be sustainable. @2017-05-15 22:50:16
