"The Seminar" series (Lacan)

Lacan's "The Seminar" series is a collection of lectures where French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan explores complex ideas about the human mind, language, and identity. He emphasizes how our unconscious influences our thoughts and behaviors, often shaped by language and social interactions. Lacan introduces concepts like the "mirror stage," where infants recognize themselves, and the "big Other," representing societal norms and authority. His work aims to deepen understanding of how individuals develop psychologically and how language structures our sense of reality, offering a nuanced psychoanalytic perspective that links mind, language, and society.
