Judith Butler on Primo Levi
Click here for a 2006 lecture “Primo Levi for the Present” by Judith Butler. What is on view here is a characteristic ability to make important philosophical distinctions which allow a case to be made for progressive politics.
Also, in the same series of lectures from the European Graduate School, you can listen here to Slavoj Zizek critiquing, in 2007, the vulgar materialism that denounces religion (a la Christopher Hitchens) and that is twin to the religious fundamentalism it purportedly opposes.
