Slavoj Zizek presents an interesting analysis of the present crisis, which he describes in apocalyptic terms. For Slavoj Zizek, the end of "Metanarratives" or "Big stories" is a loss, as we are facing the need to save humanity. He advocates for a collective effort, which is certainly a necessity. Presenting "communism" as the only alternative seems more dubious. It shows the gap which tends to widen between an economic and environmental reality which changes rapidly, and political concepts which remain basically the same as more than a century ago, at a time when economy was quite different.
Slavoj Zizek est devenu un des penseurs les plus en vue, en tant que représentant de la "pop philosophie". Le terme de "pop philosophie" parait quelque peu usurpé, car Slavoj Zizek est un penseur subtil, qui aime le paradoxe et qui est souvent difficile à suivre. Toujours est-il que cette réputation et sa faconde naturelle l'aident à se faire connaitre des média, ce qui est devenu la condition essentielle pour réussir en philosophie comme en littérature.
