초록
The aim of this paper is to explore Slavoj Žižek’s political philosophy from the intersection of Marxism and psychoanalysis. This paper first examines Žižek’s political philosophy in relation to psychoanalysis, then explains Žižek’s conceptions of ideology, appearance, and utopia. Finally, the paper discusses Žižek’s critique of capitalism and the conception of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In Žižek’s political philosophy, Marxism and psychoanalysis are closely related because both share a common goal － to change the material world. While the aim of Marxism is to change society, psychoanalysis is focused on changing the subject. However, Marxism lacks a theory of the individual and psychoanalysis lacks a social analysis. Žižek therefore complements Marxism with the subject model of psychoanalysis and at the same time expands psychoanalysis into a theory of society. His philosophy is therefore a psychoanalysis of society and at the same time a theory of the revolutionary subject. On the one hand, he is strongly influenced by psychoanalysis and further develops its conceptions of the Real and the subject. On the other hand, he also develops the theory of the revolutionary subject influenced by Marxism. Ultimately, Žižek’s purpose is to show that an emancipatory politics is possible as long as there are fighting subjects.
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore Slavoj Žižek’s political philosophy from the intersection of Marxism and psychoanalysis. This paper first examines Žižek’s political philosophy in relation to psychoanalysis, then explains Žižek’s conceptions of ideology, appearance, and utopia. Finally, the paper discusses Žižek’s critique of capitalism and the conception of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In Žižek’s political philosophy, Marxism and psychoanalysis are closely related because both share a common goal － to change the material world. While the aim of Marxism is to change society, psychoanalysis is focused on changing the subject. However, Marxism lacks a theory of the individual and psychoanalysis lacks a social analysis. Žižek therefore complements Marxism with the subject model of psychoanalysis and at the same time expands psychoanalysis into a theory of society. His philosophy is therefore a psychoanalysis of society and at the same time a theory of the revolutionary subject. On the one hand, he is strongly influenced by psychoanalysis and further develops its conceptions of the Real and the subject. On the other hand, he also develops the theory of the revolutionary subject influenced by Marxism. Ultimately, Žižek’s purpose is to show that an emancipatory politics is possible as long as there are fighting subjects.
