and should have written
"My response is to remind Žižek - and others - that what we now call 'science'
was once known as 'natural philosophy', and is 'good' only when those 'roots' -
or 'foundations' - are clearly acknowledged and (to stretch the metaphors)
regularly examined for 'disease' and 'structural defects'."
My judgement "I don't know what to think about Žižek (which is perhaps a polite
way of avoiding saying something negative)" is not merely based on the clip to
which Phil referred us, but on viewing several videos on various philosophical
subjects that are available on YouTube.
