Overview""I am the product of priests"", Lacan once said of himself. Educated by the Marist Brothers (or Little Brothers of Mary), he was a pious child and acquired considerable, personal knowledge of the torments and cunning of Christian spirituality. He was wonderfully able to speak to Catholics and to bring them around to psychoanalysis. Jesuits flocked to his school. Freud, an old-style Enlightenment optimist, believed religion was merely an illusion that the progress of the scientific spirit would dissipate in the future. Lacan did not share this belief in the slightest: he thought, on the contrary, that the true religion, Roman Catholicism, would take in everyone in the end, pouring bucketsful of meaning over the ever more insistent and unbearable real that we, in our times, owe to science. —Jacques-Alain Miller Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jacques Lacan , Bruce FinkPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd Imprint: Polity Press Dimensions: Width: 13.20cm , Height: 1.40cm , Length: 19.80cm Weight: 0.209kg ISBN: 9780745659893ISBN 10: 0745659896 Pages: 96 Publication Date: 06 September 2013 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of stock  The supplier is temporarily out of stock of this item.
