The Logic of Sexuation

Více o knize

Exploring Jacques Lacan's theories, Ellie Ragland delves into gender, sexuality, and sexual difference, challenging essentialist views more effectively than contemporary gender studies. Through a rereading of Freud's work via Aristotle, she argues that Lacan, often misinterpreted as anti-Woman, actually supports a feminine logic that fosters analytic progress. Ragland clarifies key Lacanian concepts like phallus and jouissance, asserting that understanding sexual difference is crucial for dialectical thinking, thus reshaping the discourse surrounding gender and sexuality.
