Zizek,usually regarded as a new Marxist thinker,inherits Marx's political and economic critique of capitalism and declares himself to be a Marxist without shyness.According to Tonnimairs,three thinkers have the greatest influence on Zizek,namely,Hegel,Marx and Lacan."Marx's works provide the motives or causes behind the Zizek works","Hegel's philosophy has influenced the type or method of thought that Zizek has practiced,and Lacan's psychoanalysis provides the terminology and conceptual framework that Zizek uses to deal with its analytical objects." "Due to the emphasis of Hegel's philosophy on Dialectics and the unique negative power of dialectics,the contemporary radical left philosophers are more or less related to Hegel's philosophy." However,Zizek is not an external way to examine the compatibility of Hegel's dialectics with the "thing itself" of contemporary philosophical thinking.It is not determined to oppose the philosophy of "event" and Hegel's whole philosophy,but to set out the main body of Hegel,to deconstruct Hegelian dialectics,to transform it from inside,In order to obtain a new form of Hegel's Dialectics,and to meet the contemporary philosophy of "the matter itself" to reach the agreement,in order to achieve the critical task of dialectics.We take this transformation as the following three aspects:First,questioning the ontological basis of (?)i(?)ek's philosophical thinking.Because his transformation of dialectics must be based on his philosophical thinking on the basis of ontology,cannot be generated out of thin air.We start from his ideological criticism to introduce his thinking on this issue and find that (?)i(?)ek is engaged in ideological criticism on the basis of Lacan's deconstruction of the subject.Obviously,Lacan's understanding of the subject provides the philosophical view of (?)i(?)ek,and it is not only that,but it also stipulates the transformation of Hegel's dialectics.Secondly,it discusses how (?)i(?)ek reconstructs Hegel's dialectics with the subjective vision established by Lacan.We divide this problem into two levels: first,since Hegel's dialectics is a flower in the soil of "absolute spirit",we must first transform the highest ontology of Hegel's philosophy from the content.This is reflected in (?)i(?)ek's creative interpretation of Hegel's famous theory that "the substance is the subject".He replaced the "subject" of this argument with the subject of Lacan's meaning,and the problem changed,that is,Hegel's entity—absoluteness becomes a self-defeating thing,with contradiction embedded in it.Instead of using contradiction as an intermediary to realize itself.Secondly,the formal transformation of Hegel's dialectics is carried out on the platform of signifier logic established by Lacan's system of language as symbol.Since Lacan's "signifier logic" itself is an illusory chain of symbols separated from its signified,it can directly relate words in a reverse way,and does not have any effect on its signified.In this way,(?)i(?)ek transformed Hegel's dialectical structure of thesis,antithesis and synthesis into a simple structure of negation and contradiction.In a word,the final result is that dialectics has undergone great changes in both content and form,which has catered to the critical requirements of contemporary philosophy.Thirdly,it points out how the new-established dialectics is critical.This is the promotion of Hegel's dialectics by (?)i(?)ek.He first sought the real bearers of contemporary society on the basis of Lacan's theory about renegade and hollow person.They are people who are really excluded from the capital society— "the living dead",but they are new proletarian revolutionaries.Secondly,(?)i(?)ek holds dialectics as a wound that capitalism can never heal,and it exists until the death of capitalist society.Thus,(?)i(?)ek completed the Lacan treatment of Hegel's philosophy.This treatment,of course,contains an element of "violent interpretation",but the development and advancement of philosophy cannot be excessively glued to these details.We should see that in this way Hegel's dialectics will not be annihilated by the development of history,it may radiate new strength in the new era.
