This episode features highlights from content that we've published over the course of the last year—including excerpts from our interview with Adolph Reed, our first attempt at engaging in cultural critique, and our discussion about the Zizek-Peterson debate.
The Zizek/Peterson debate is one of the most controversial and talked about events in the intellectual world since Foucault sat down with Chomsky. Whether it's outrage, anticipation or confusion, this event has caught the attention of millions. While both engage in the same trinity of issues: Christianity, Politics and Subjectivity, their perspectives are profoundly different. On one side we have Peterson's Clinical Psychology reading - influenced by Jung - while Zizek represents a Dialectic approach that brings together Hegel, Freud and Marx. This is the second part of the pyroseminar on that debate. In this talk I offer a commentary.
This is an introduction to the Zizek/Peterson debate that I did live on the night. I should point out that I tried not to engage in any personal reflections on how I rate the intellectual status of the thinkers. But that could lead people to think that I place them on the same level. I should say that this is not the case. Zizek is a first rate, multilingual philosopher who has written over 50 books in various languages, many of which have contributed significantly to the fields of philosophy, political theory, theology and psychoanalysis. In contrast Peterson is a college professor with two books (one academic, the other self-help), who came to prominence because of his stance on Identity Politics. They both have significant platforms, but they should not be seen as comparable regarding their contributions to the academic world.
We're back, folks, with a double release this weekend! Normally our Hop Takes episodes are for Patreon subscribers only but since there was a bit of a delay in our recent interview release we decided to release this into the wild. Today we start out by discussing some local politics and move onto talking about some recent news and events around the country and around the world. We chat about the Alberta election, the free speech lawsuit lodged against our friends at Ricochet Media, the Zizek / Peterson debate as well as the recent talk in the media (again) of an NDP / Green party merger. Enjoy!
We continue our discussion about the Zizek/Peterson debate. This time, we talk about the reactions that others have had to the debate and also discuss what we would've liked to see in the debate.

In this bonus episode, the front porch philosophers discuss Marxism. Zizek and Peterson are set to debate! But before you check it out we suggest listening to our analysis of Marxism. Today, Marxism is often mischaracterized and misunderstood. We dive into Karl Marx's political and economic philosophy so anyone interested in the debate will have a better understanding of his thinking beforehand. Even if you don't watch the debate, we hope you enjoy this analysis. (P.s. Join us next week for post-debate analysis!) Join The Discussion: Twitter l Patreon
