Jacques the Sophist

Lacan, Logos, and Psychoanalysis

Beschreibung

Sophistry has long been philosophy's bad other, yet in many ways, its emphasis on words and performativity remain more important than philosophical Truth. This book celebrates an underground survival of the sophistical tradition in the work of work of psychoanalysis, and its determination to take seriously equivocations, jokes, and unfinishable projects of interpretation.
