About this Item

Here is "Jacques Lacan and the Adventure of Insight : Psychoanalysis in Contemporary Culture" by Shoshana Felman. It was published by Harvard University Press in 1987; this is the second printing, paperback format. From the back cover write-up : " Jacques Lacan , one of the most influential and controversial French thinkers of the twentieth century, was a practicing and teaching psychoanalyst in Paris. But his revolutionary seminars on Freud reached out far beyond professional circles. Felman's book illuminates the power and originality of Lacan's work, brilliantly analyzing his view of psychoanalysis not as dogma, but as an ongoing self-critical process of discovery."

Said John P. Muller : "This is the best book in English about Lacan. Felman gives us, with the clarity and precision of a master teacher, Lacan's vision of Freud's discovery in all its scope and depth. After reading Felman, not only will we read Lacan differently, we will read Freud differently."
