Ucieczka z więzienia fantazji
Escaping from the prison of fantasy

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article persuades us that the slogan of ideology is no longer “They do not know what they do, and, hence, they do it”, but, following Peter Sloterdijk, “They know what they do very well, and, yet, they still do it”. The article is an attempt to derive political consequences from this belief, namely, the ones having ambition to determine a direction of a collective life. In his article, following psychoanalytical intuitions, the author wonders how it is possible that even a full awareness of manipulation being made does not protect the subject from behaving in a way imposed on by the system. In this context, what becomes useful for the author is the analysis of the role of fantasy-fetish included in works by Slavoj Žižek. It is him who does not only describe the mechanisms of postmodern ideology, but also proposes a psychoanalytical remedy referred to as an act.
