This article revisits the controversy over the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek’s sympathetic, yet critical and provocative, views on Islam and fundamentalist terrorism as developed in his ‘A Glance on the Archives of Islam.’ Žižek, I argue, offers an original reading of the universality of Islam and its political potentiality, by reactualizing the originary impulse in Hegel’s dialectical analysis of Islam as endogenous to the series of monotheistic religions, without falling into the trap of either Hegel’s racist Orientalist, Eurocentric, and Islamophobic views about Islam or their antithetical Islamocentric views. First, I show that Žižek rejects Hegel’s emphasis on both Islam’s temporal incongruity and the Islamic unique conception of an abstract and transcendent God. Instead, Žižek reloads Hegel’s dialectical views and manages to resolve the deadlock in Hegel’s approach to Islam that could not account for the universality of Islam. Second, I draw out the political aspect of Žižek’s philosophical analysis of Islam, by examining his claim that Islam is the most politicized religion today. Grounding the emergence of political Islam in the encroachment of modernization project on the Islamicate world, he notes the ambiguity about sacrifice (martyrdom and terrorism) in Islam and attributes the rise of Islamic extremism (violence) to the contradictions and impasses of the global capitalist system.

重新实现黑格尔:齐泽克,伊斯兰教的普遍性及其政治潜力(重温“伊斯兰档案”)

本文回顾了斯洛文尼亚哲学家 Slavoj Žižek 在其“伊斯兰档案概览”中对伊斯兰教和原教旨主义恐怖主义的同情但批判性和挑衅性的观点所引发的争议。我认为,齐泽克提供了对伊斯兰教普遍性及其政治潜力的原始解读,通过重新实现黑格尔辩证分析中的原始冲动,将伊斯兰教视为一系列一神论宗教的内生性,而不会落入黑格尔的种族主义东方主义者的陷阱,关于伊斯兰教的欧洲中心主义和伊斯兰恐惧症观点或他们对立的伊斯兰中心主义观点。首先,我表明 Žižek 拒绝黑格尔强调伊斯兰教在时间上的不协调性和伊斯兰教对抽象和超然上帝的独特概念。反而,Žižek 重新加载了黑格尔的辩证观点,并设法解决了黑格尔对待伊斯兰教的方法中无法解释伊斯兰教普遍性的僵局。其次,我通过检查齐泽克关于伊斯兰教是当今政治化程度最高的宗教的主张,勾勒出齐泽克对伊斯兰教的哲学分析的政治方面。他将政治伊斯兰教的出现建立在对伊斯兰世界的现代化项目的侵蚀中,他指出伊斯兰教中牺牲(殉难和恐怖主义)的模糊性,并将伊斯兰极端主义(暴力)的兴起归因于全球资本主义体系的矛盾和僵局. 通过检查他声称伊斯兰教是当今政治化程度最高的宗教。他将政治伊斯兰教的出现建立在对伊斯兰世界的现代化项目的侵蚀中,他指出伊斯兰教中牺牲(殉难和恐怖主义)的模糊性,并将伊斯兰极端主义(暴力)的兴起归因于全球资本主义体系的矛盾和僵局. 通过检查他声称伊斯兰教是当今政治化程度最高的宗教。他将政治伊斯兰教的出现建立在对伊斯兰世界的现代化项目的侵蚀中,他指出伊斯兰教中牺牲(殉难和恐怖主义)的模糊性,并将伊斯兰极端主义(暴力)的兴起归因于全球资本主义体系的矛盾和僵局.
