In diesem sehr guten Portrait von und mit Zizek von Jstor, empfiehlt Zizek selbst Bücher. Seiner Meinung nach beschreiben die Bücher "Absolute Recoil" und "Less Than Nothing" sein philosophisches System bzw. Denken am umfassendsten.
Das beste Buch um sein Werk zu verstehen, ist seiner Meinung nach "Ethics of the Real", von seiner slowenischen Kollegin Alenka Zupancic, die auch Teil von Zizeks Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis ist.

Eine Warnung von mir vorweg: Zizek schreibt zwei verschiedene Arten von Büchern. Die philosophisch-wissenschaftlichen Werke (die er hauptsächlich in seiner frühen Laufbahn geschrieben hat, und die auch oben empfohlen wurden) und populärwissenschaftliche politische Bücher, die um einiges einfacher zu verdauen sind. Ich würde an deiner Stelle damit anfangen, denn die "ernsten" Werke sind ohne Vorkenntnisse von Lacan, Hegel und Marx schwer bis gar nicht zu verstehen.
Die Streitschriften ("Blasphemische Gedanken" und "Der neue Klassenkampf"), die bei Ullstein erschienen sind, haben relativ wenig Seiten und lesen sich ziemlich einfach. "First As Tragedy Then As Farce" ist auch ziemlich kurzweilig. Wär also mein Tipp, um mal einen kleinen Zeh ins kalte Wasser zu setzen :D

Alain Badiou recently wrote this article on Hegel's master/slave dialectic, but did so asking the question as to it's relation to real slavery. It answers the question quite nicely while also providing an extremely clear reading of Hegel's argument.

Frederick Beiser also wrote a book on Hegel (there are ways to get the PDF version of this if you look in the right places) that is clear and does a good job dispelling the common misreadings of Hegel.

Peter Singer's Very Short Introduction to Hegel (again, available as a PDF in the right places) is also extremely clear and well written.

If you're serious about reading Hegel, pick yourself up a copy of Phenomenology of Spirit and read through it with Gregory Sadler's Lecture series. He goes through paragraph by paragraph explaining the whole text. He's extremely engaging and extremely insightful.

If you can't get enough Hegel and you want to go all in, I'd recommend The Hegel Variations by Fredric Jameson, Hegel: Three Studies by Theodore Adorno, and Less Than Nothing by some Slovenian guy.

Sorry if that's overkill, hope it helps!

>Im not zizek but if you wanna criticize the source you can read him or see the videos were he explains his filosofy

I know who Slavoj Žižek is.

 

I have watched a lot of his Debates and Videos on YouTube. I have watched how he "Debated" the maniacal Transphobic Misogynist Judeo-Christian Fanatic called Jordan B. Peterson.

I have read his books let me Synopsize them for you; Accordingly—

 

  • "Violence." ( A very Neo-Liberal Psuedo-Hegellinistic view and description of Voilence and a bit on Heirarchy. )

  • "Sex - and The Failed Absolute." ( Hegellinistic/Kantian revisionistic Interpretation of Sex-Differences represented through skewed interpretations of Films, Literature and Entertainment he uses as Examples to bring forth the Hegel/Kantian view of Sex and Gender. SIDE NOTE Kant was a very Religious Philosopher, believes in Authority and that God/Jesus is a good Ideal to follow. An Academic Theologist basically. )

  • "The Sublime Object of Ideology." ( A very shitty Kantian Interpretation of Marx's defintion of Commodity and Freud's weird un-materialistic Interpretation and Opinion of what Dreams are. )

  • "Less than Nothing: Hegel and the Shadow of Dialectical Materialism." ( His justification book to Revise the words and meanings of Marx's Defintion of Materialism and Materialistic Views. )

  • "The Fragile Absolute: Or, Why Is the Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For?" ( Apologia Piece towards the Atrocities of Christianity through— you guessed it; Kantian Perspective. )

     

    Slavoj Žižek— is a Capitalist Masquerading as a Communist.

     

    He is a Modern Stain on Anarchism and Communism, he believes in a lot of ways - that the Revolution will never happen and because he is Depressed he Actively writes Psuedo-Communist Revisionist Literature to discourage Revolution.

     

    Why do you think he is so popular, so free to "Debate" people, why the Media Corporations aren't trying to Damage his reputation? Not trying to deplatform him? It is because the Capitalist-Class, States/Militaries around the world and Religious Figures aren't afraid of him— because in his works he has never wrote directly against nor outright discouraged Capitalism.

    He is a hack, and a Disengenueous Revisionist towards the cause and goal of Cummunism- which is Anarchism. Anarchism is the end Goal of Communism, Communism is just Karl-Marx's "How to" Guide to Achieve Anarchism.

     

    I've read a lot of Theory on Anarchism and Communism. I'm an Active Anarchist in my part of the World-( Which I will not expose for Safety reasons ) somewhat succeeding in Communal Living.

     

    If you want real Scientists and Philosphers' views on Anarchism and Communism read Pëtr Kropotkin's—

  • "Conquest of Bread"

  • "Anarchism: Its Philosophy and Ideal"

  • "Scientific Evolutionary Principles of Anarchism & Co-operation based on Darwin's Evolutionary Theory."

     

    Albert Einstein's—

  • "Why Socialism".

     

    Read Karl Marx as well— so that you don't fall for bullshit Revisionists of the Modern Times like Slavoj Žižek.

     

     

    EDIT:


    >And the guys on top dont really wanna control you they just dont want to lose their power

    Are you even an Anarchist? I don't think you have any Idea what Power is. You have a very Childish view of Power.

     

    How does one protect Power? Maintain it? How do Dictators, Kings, Queens, The Pope - Politicians protect their Power? Hm? Do you know the Dynamics of "Power"?

    I don't think you do, going by your— description... if we can even call it that.

    Do you know the Definition of Control? Please educate yourself before you try to talk about things you don't really understand.
