Taking the Unconscious Seriously

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

'I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth' we say in a court of law. 'In a court of law, the truth is precisely what we will not say', says Lacan. This book takes Lacan's inversion, and the hypothesis of the unconscious, seriously and puts the legal subject on the couch. In its exploration into the incestuous relationship between law and desire, enjoyment and transgression, truth and lies, freedom and subservience, ethics and atheism, this book provides a step-by-step analysis of those central psychoanalytic concepts that problematize fundamental tenets of the legal system.
