Tarrying with the Negative Quotes

“as soon as we renounce fiction and illusion, we lose reality itself; the moment we subtract fictions from reality, reality itself loses its discursive-logical consistency.”

“Perspicacious theologians know very well [the] paradox of a decision which retroactively posits it’s own reasons: of course there are good reasons to believe in Jesus Christ, but these reasons are fully comprehensible only to those who already believe in him.”
― Slavoj Žižek, Tarrying with the Negative: Kant, Hegel, and the Critique of Ideology
