The Seminar of Jacques Lacan
Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
A startling psycholinguistic exploration of the boundaries of love and knowledge.
Often controversial, always inspired, Jacques Lacan here weighs theories of the relationship between the desire for love and the attainment of knowledge from such thinkers as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud. He leads us through mathematics, philosophy, religion, and, naturally, psychoanalysis into an entirely new way of interpreting the two most fundamental human drives.
Long anticipated by English-speaking readers, this annotated translation presents Lacan's most sophisticated work on love and desire.
Discover the profound insights offered in The Seminar of Jacques Lacan and explore the intersections of love and knowledge as you never have before.
