Presented by Slavoj Žižek.
In this filmed lecture, Slovenian philosopher, Slavoj Žižek reflects on belief -- which takes him from Father Christmas to democracy -- and on the various forms that belief takes, drawing on Lacanian categories of thought. He mobilizes the paradox of universal truth urging us to dare to enact the impossible and discusses the efficacy of the virtual and argues for a rethinking of the categories of materialism and of utopian politics -- by way of the usual references to Donald Rumsfeld, Hollywood cinema, and chocolate laxatives.
