Jacques Lacan

    April 13, 1901 – September 9, 1981

    Jacques Lacan was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who made significant contributions to the psychoanalytic movement. His ideas centered on Freudian concepts like the unconscious, the castration complex, and the ego, emphasizing the centrality of language to subjectivity. His work was interdisciplinary, drawing on linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics. Though a controversial figure, Lacan's work is widely studied in critical theory, literary studies, and twentieth-century French philosophy, as well as in the practice of clinical psychoanalysis.
