Description
Jacques Lacan's Seminar of the twentieth year explores the complex relationship between desire for love and the pursuit of knowledge, drawing on the ideas of influential thinkers such as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud.
Through a wide-ranging examination of mathematics, philosophy, religion, and psychoanalysis, Lacan presents a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the two fundamental human drives. This annotated translation of his most sophisticated work on love, desire, and jouissance has been anticipated by English-speaking readers for over twenty years.
First published in 1988, this book offers a fascinating insight into Lacan's theories and ideas, making it an essential read for anyone interested in psychology, personality, or psychoanalysis.
