The language of the self

the function of language in psychoanalysis

About this book

Lacan's commentaries on Freud had revolutionary implications for philosophy and literary criticism. He held that if the unconscious exists, it functions linguistically rather than symbolically. Includes a study that explains his work and relates it to the context of contemporary thought.
