Lacan, Mortality, Life and Language

More about the book

Exploring the Lacanian subject, this work delves into the nature of human identity from a psychoanalytic viewpoint. It questions whether feelings and affect define humanity or if the Freudian concept of the unconscious establishes the critical distinction between humans and non-humans. The text invites readers to reflect on the complexities of being a speaking being and the implications of psychoanalysis on our understanding of the self.
