Abstract
Both Heidegger and Žižek want to burst the bubble of non-political philosophy. Philosophy is action, doing, politics in its genuine sense, or it is not at all. Not only is philosophy action, it is the most decisive kind of action. Heidegger and Žižek claim that everything depends on thinking, and, moreover, right now.1 Philosophy as action is absolutely decisive, urgent and world-historical. Here we find the most crucial connection between Heidegger and Žižek: for both, truth is partisan.
