Lacan: subjektsteori & etik

Abstract

Title: The Theory of the Subject & Ethics Abstract. Contemporary discourse theorists in the tradition following Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe are often heavily influenced by the work of the French psychoanalytical theorist Jacques Lacan (1901–1981). Hence if one is to really under- stand and engage with this tradition one also has to get a grip of Lacan. Lacans work is polymorph but it is mostly his general theory of the subject and how this relates to ethics that has proven to be most important and influential. This text gives a clear and in-depth introduction to these aspects of Lacans theory.
