Subjectivity and Otherness

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of subjectivity in Jacques Lacan's work, arguing against both "pro-Lacanians" and "anti-Lacanians" by presenting Lacan as a systematic thinker. Lorenzo Chiesa provides a philosophical analysis of the Lacanian subject's relationship to otherness, examining its development through the Imaginary, Symbolic, and Real orders. He highlights the continuity in Lacan's theories despite apparent contradictions, ultimately portraying the Lacanian subject as an irreducible lack that challenges contemporary notions of subjectivity, bridging psychoanalysis and philosophy.
