Slavoj Žižek on Freedom
← Back to Slavoj Žižek Profile
“We feel free because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom.”
“True freedom is not a freedom of choice made from a safe distance, like choosing between a strawberry cake or a chocolate cake; true freedom overlaps with necessity, one makes a truly free choice when one's choice puts at stake one's very existence — one does it because one simply "cannot do it otherwise."”
