The Antinomies of Tolerant Reason

[Glenn Scheper]

At the very end of Slavoj Zizek's article,
do I not encounter Plato's forms again,
like I saw the "only one" Indian in GR?

"Let us take anti-Semitic pogroms (or, more generally, racist violence).
They do not react to (i.e., what they find intolerable and rage-provoking
is not) the immediate reality of Jews, but (to) the image/figure of the
"Jew" constructed ands circulating in their tradition.

"The catch, of course, is that one cannot simply distinguish between
real Jews and their anti-Semitic image: this image overdetermines the
way I experience real Jews themselves (and, furthermore, it affects the
way Jews experience themselves).

"What makes a real Jew that an anti-Semite encounters on the street
"intolerable," what the anti-Semite tries to destroy when he attacks
the Jew, the true target of his fury, is this fantasmatic dimension."
