Cancelled Philosopher comments on Hegel's aesthetics, explored through the interpretations of other philosophers. Slavoj Ziziek is a Hegelian philosopher, so I am talking about a book on Hegel's Dialectical Materialism called "Less Than Nothing." I explore his essay on the morality and aesthetics of the holocaust in fiction. Zizek criticizes Wittgenstein's opinion that if you have not experienced something in reality, you should not depict in in fiction. He also describes Lacan's notion that fiction can be a way of vicariously experiencing darkness that we would never want to witness in the real world, without any risk to ourselves. It's cathartic in that way. We can empathize with tragedy while avoiding experiencing it directly.
