Disparities explores contemporary ‘negative’ philosophies from Catherine Malabou’s plasticity, Julia Kristeva’s abjection and Robert Pippin’s [[self]]-[[consciousness]] to the God of [[negative]] [[theology]], new realisms and post-[[humanism]] and draws a radical line under [[them]]. Instead of establishing a dialogue with these [[other]] [[ideas]] of disparity, Slavoj Žižek wants to establish a definite departure, a totally different [[idea]] of disparity based on an imaginative [[dialectical]] [[materialism]]. This [[notion]] of rupturing what has gone before is based on a provocative [[reading]] of how philosophers can, if they’re honest, engage with each other. Slavoj Žižek borrows [[Alain]] Badiou’s notion that a [[true]] idea is the one that [[divides]]. Radically departing from previous formulations of negativity and disparity, Žižek employs a new kind of negativity: namely positing that when a [[philosopher]] deals with [[another]] philosopher, his or her stance is never one of dialogue, but one of [[division]], of drawing a line that separates [[truth]] from [[falsity]].
