- Summary:
- The surprising confluence of Lacanian psychoanalysis and the texts of the Ancient Greek sophists in Jacques the Sophist: Lacan, Logos, and Psychoanalysis becomes a springboard for Barbara Cassin's highly original re-reading of the writings and seminars of Jacques Lacan. Sophistry, since Plato and Aristotle, has been represented as philosophy's negative alter ego, its bad other, and this allows her to draw out the "sophistic" elements of Lacan's own language or how, as she puts it, Lacan "philosophistises".
