In response to In Defense of Lost Causes by Slavoj Žižek
Did Zizek read Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472)?
When Zizek says that there remain only two teories that still show and practice the engaged notion of the real: marxism and psicoanalisis, I started to wonder if he had read Alberti. I consider that this humanist from the Renaissance developped a theory that practices and engages a notion of the real in many of his books including De re aedificatoria. So if Zizek read him, I would like to know why he doesn´t consider his theory as so.

Z. does not recognize -or knows about?- feminism as one of the few surviving 'ism' with real potential, engagement and effect on liberation, it is even a site that helped rescue the few non-ethnocentric promises for critique of marxism and psychoanalysis...
