If you example Pattberg’s works, Pattberg will notice. (Slavoj Zizek, 16 May 2013)

No other than Slavoj Zizek, the "Elvis of Philosophy," whom I quoted in language imperialism, must have found my work. Respective articles on "Chinese philosophy" (a European misleading translation/invention) and the sovereignty over the definition of thought had been published in Japan, Korea, Singapore, China, the US, and Germany; circulated over 2 million times in print, but also online in the radical leftist Asia Times. Some articles: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
"For example, when we talk about “Chinese philosophy” it is clear that we are doing an eurocentricist operation, because “philosophy” as we know it emerged in Europe; and if we apply the same notion to Chinese thought, the Chinese thought is automatically in a disadvantage." --Slavoj Zizek [GO TO EXACT POSITION] [WATCH FULL CLIP]
