Jacques Lacan On Feminine Sexuality the Limits of Love and Knowledge

Annotation

A startling psycholinguistic exploration of the boundaries of love and knowledge. Often controversial, always inspired, Jacques Lacan here weighs theories of the relationship between the desire for love and the attainment of knowledge from such thinkers as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud. He leads us through mathematics, philosophy, religion, and, naturally, psychoanalysis into an entirely new way of interpreting the two most fundamental human drives. Long anticipated by English-speaking readers, this annotated translation presents Lacan's most sophisticated work on love and desire. Also available in paperback from Lacan's Seminar: Book I: Freud's Writings on Technique; Book II: The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis; Book III: The Psychoses; Book VII: The Ethics of Psychoanalysis; and Book XI: The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis
