Abstract
Slavoj Zizek has pretended to identify the nonideologized core of Christianity in order to find a point of departure to criticize global capitalism. First of all, as conceptual clarification, we want to expose how Zizek let his idea of dialectical materialism come out of trinitarian dogma of Encarnation, which was first formulated through St. Paul’s doctrine of God’s kénosis. According to his lecture of Marx, the marxian subversion of philosophical discourse can’t be understood without paying attention to how the notion of Absolute was elaborated in German Idealism as decision-scission and auto-alienation of God. The political, the common field of social nexus, becames so contigent, disenchanted, consequence of human freedom, anticipated by God’s decision to empty himself. Only by paying attention to the manifestation of desire we can experience with Lacan that it is precisely the void within itself what constitutes the subject of a discourse, and not a narcissist one. Christian agápe is the mode in which the subject, emptying himself, suspends and sublimates Law, opening the way to concrete universalization in the communion of Holy Ghost, beyong abstract universality which is imposed by dispoliticized global capitalism.
