What regard and esteem Sardar bore for Sri Aurobindo is evident from this tribute

Zizek’s Preface to our Hegel Book (with Columbia University Press) « Objet petit a July 6, 2010 by crestondavis This preface will appear in Hegel and the Infinite: Religion, Politics, and Dialectic, edited by Zizek/Crockett/Davis… To be published in 2011. HEGEL’S CENTURY Slavoj Zizek
The ultimate anti-Hegelian argument is the very fact of the post-Hegelian break: what even the most fanatical partisan of Hegel cannot deny is that something changed after Hegel, that a new era of thought began which can no longer be accounted for in Hegelian terms of absolute conceptual mediation; this rupture occurs in different guises, from Schelling’s assertion of the abyss of pre-logical Will (vulgarized later by Schopenhauer) and  Kierkegaard’s insistence on the uniqueness of faith and subjectivity, through Marx’s assertion of actual socio-economic life-process, and the full autonomization of mathematicized natural sciences, up to Freud’s motif of “death-drive” as a repetition that insists beyond all dialectical mediation. […]
Not even to mention the destructions of great civilizations like the Mongols’ wiping out so much of the Muslim world (the destruction of Baghdad, etc.) in the 13th century – there is no “meaning” in this destruction, the negativity unleashed here did not create the space for a new shape of historical life.)
This is why the time of Hegel still lies ahead – Hegel’s century will be the XXIst.
most underrated philosopher of all time? by doctorzamalek (Graham Harman)
When people think in historical blocks of thinkers, there are usually four names from Kant through Hegel, but then it’s just Husserl-Heidegger. It’s at least conceivable that it ought to be Brentano-Husserl-Heidegger rather than just the two names. A more extreme interpretation is given by Barry Smith, who actually sees Brentano as the best of those three, followed by rapid descent into the decadence of Heidegger (with Levinas and Derrida finally closing out the series with the sub-decadence of jabbering imbeciles). I would never go that far, obviously, but it’s for a good cause: the glorification of Brentano. If you’ve never actually read him, make 2010 the year. He has it all: lucidity, sharpness, originality, biting humor. For now, Brentano gets my vote for “most underrated philosopher of all time.”
