Jacques Lacan (1901-1981). Psychoanalyst and critical thinker.
'Lacan's work marks a crucial moment in the history of
psychoanalysis, a moment which will perhaps prove as significant as
Freud's original discovery of the unconscious.' - Colin MacCabe
'Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille had often urged Lacan
to publish the text of his seminars: the influence of his teaching
can be observed in works by Maurice Blanchot and Michel Foucault
... in Roland Barthes's studies on semiology and Louis Althusser's
"reading" of Marx. But it can be felt still more basically [in] the
current revival of interest in psychoanalysis . . . the desire for
a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of
modern thought.' - The Times Literary Supplement
