Description

Lacan: A Genealogy provides a comprehensive account of Lacan's work, tracing his development from early writings on paranoid psychosis to his later concepts. Miguel de Beistegui offers a genealogical analysis that explores how our current subjectivity was shaped by theoretical and practical transformations in various discourses. At the heart of this inquiry is the concept of desire, which underlies not only liberal political economy and psychiatry but also our understanding of ourselves and our place within society. This book presents a novel reading of Lacan's ideas, highlighting their radical potential and urgency for contemporary thought. By examining the relationship between desire, norm, and law, Beistegui sheds new light on the ways in which we experience and govern ourselves ethically and politically. A valuable contribution to philosophical debates, this work is essential reading for those interested in Lacan's ideas and their ongoing relevance.
