"Philosophy After Lacan: Politics, Science and Art is a marvellous collection of essays testifying to the vitality and timeliness of Lacan's ideas. Most extant examinations of Lacan's relations with philosophy tend to restrict themselves to situating Lacan historically vis-à-vis philosophers and philosophical orientations of the past. By welcome contrast, Philosophy After Lacan focuses on how Lacanian thought enables today's philosophers and theorists to develop new and original approaches to a range of fields and topics across the theoretical humanities. There is no more convincing demonstration that Lacanianism is a living and fruitful tradition than this superb volume of papers." - Adrian Johnston. Distinguished Professor. Department of Philosophy, University of New Mexico
"Antiphilosophy is an ambivalent term and Lacan caused much provocation, irritation, and misunderstanding, when he applied it to his own teaching. But rather than simply rejecting philosophy, Lacan's antiphilosophical position invites both philosophers and psychoanalysts not to forget to constantly challenge their practices from within, for this is what makes these practices, theoretical and clinical, alive. The contributions in this volume, meticulously edited, show how the practice of philosophy looks like, when Lacan's challenge is taken seriously, that is, beyond provocation. They demonstrate that philosophy and psychoanalysis have always entertained a relation of seduction and entanglement. This relation, troubled and critical at times, is in truth a love relation." - Samo Tomsic, Humboldt University, Berlin
'Moving across fields as diverse as neuroscience, theology, mathematics, continental philosophy, linguistics and politics, this incredible collection - a veritable 'dream team' of Lacanian thinkers and scholars - demonstrates how the multiple trajectories of Lacanian 'anti-philosophy' have inflected contemporary thought today in a way which is both irreversible and profound. We have, in recent decades, heard of the linguistic and affective turns in social theory. This seminal volume tracks the impact of the Lacanian turn in cultural theory today.' - Derek Hook, Duquesne University, USA; editor, Lacan on Depression and Melancholia (with Stijn Vanheule)
