The Seminar of Jacques Lacan

Jacques Lacan’s seminar explores how our unconscious mind shapes our desires, identity, and relationships. He emphasizes that language and social symbols influence our sense of self, often in ways we're unaware of. Lacan connects psychoanalysis with philosophy, focusing on how individuals are structured by their interactions with others, language, and societal norms. His ideas highlight that the human psyche is complex, constantly evolving through these influences, and that understanding these processes can reveal deeper truths about ourselves. The seminars are a deep dive into psychoanalytic theory, aiming to bridge psychological insights with broader philosophical questions.
