Q: Could you tell us a bit more about your intellectual trajectory and the philosophical, scientific, and political context that you traversed?
Dupuy discusses his background in sciences, his shift from a potential physicist to philosophy due to a lack of resources in philosophical inquiry in physics, and mentions significant influences including Ivan Illich.
Special: Žižek on “The Oeuvre of Slavoj Žižek”
Q: Where is the place of quantum physics in your Borromean knot, of Lacanian psychoanalysis, Hegelian dialectic and critique of ideology?
Žižek discusses the integration of quantum physics into his philosophical framework, stating that it offers a deterministic understanding of historical events shaped by contingencies rather than merely supporting the idea of randomness.
Special: Žižek on “The Oeuvre of Slavoj Žižek”
Q: Can you tell us more about this concept, your descriptor, liberal fascism?

Q: What is your angle of approach in writing about climate change?
