About the author

Jacques-Marie-Émile Lacan was a French psychoanalyst, psychiatrist, and doctor, who made prominent contributions to the psychoanalytic movement. His yearly seminars, conducted in Paris from 1953 until his death in 1981, were a major influence in the French intellectual milieu of the 1960s and 1970s, particularly among post-structuralist thinkers.

Lacan's ideas centered on Freudian concepts such as the unconscious, the castration complex, the ego, focusing on identifications, and the centrality of language to subjectivity. His work was interdisciplinary, drawing on linguistics, philosophy, mathematics, amongst others. Although a controversial and divisive figure, Lacan is widely read in critical theory, literary studies, and twentieth-century French philosophy, as well as in the living practice of clinical psychoanalysis.

Reviews

[Peter Herold · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nur zwei Aufsätze - „Funktion und Feld des Sprechens und der Sprache in der Psychoanalyse“ und „Das Drängen des Buchstabens im Unbewusstsein oder die Vernunft seit Freud“ - für meinen MA-Philosophie gelesen, aber großartig! Nicht leicht zu lesen, aber Lacan ist ein Genie! Sicherlich ist (Freud-)hintergrundwissen nützlich. Einzige Reue: dass ich nicht über mehr Zeit verfüge, um mehr von Lacans Schriften zu lesen.
