Event overview
1st of the 2021 牛牛资源 Annual Philosophy Lectures
Respondent: Darian Leader (CFAR)
For an analyst, expounding a clinical example is no mere illustration of a pre-existing theory. Rather, the exposition serves as a laboratory for the formation of concepts and thus of the capacity for critiquing previous theories. In my presentation, I will put this claim to the test by examining the significance and function of 鈥淭he Thing鈥� (das Ding), 鈥渄esire,鈥� 鈥渢he objects of the drives,鈥� and 鈥渏ouissance鈥� in the field of transference. Lacan wrote in L鈥櫭塼ourdit that 鈥渇ormalisation is our goal, our ideal鈥� because there is something indeterminable directly in the analytic act due to the infinite equivocity of language. But do we only have a choice between an 鈥渋ntegral transmission鈥� by virtue of a matheme, and non-knowledge?
