In a discussion that considers the difference between the esoteric and exoteric works of Plato and Aristotle, Milner argues that Lacan's oeuvre is to be found in his published writings alone, not his transcribed seminars, and that these published writings contain his official doctrine. Thus, Lacan's oeuvre is already complete, even though many of his seminars remain unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Milner, Lacan's fundamental idea is that the subject psychoanalysis works on is the subject of science. Milner suggests that this is a supplement to Alexandre Koyré's and Alexandre Kojève's accounts of modern science, for which mathematization and a break from the ancient episteme were key. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Search for Clarity\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive statement on how Lacan viewed the relationship between psychoanalysis and science, and on how Lacan's thinking evolved as he struggled to draw out the consequences of the equation he posited between psychoanalysis and science. Milner's work on Lacan has been essential reading in French for decades. This English translation will make his illuminating work accessible to a broader audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Claude Milner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810142848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810142848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jean-Claude Milner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986587713791,"sku":"9780810142848","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa46133a-a5ad-4bae-bf38-44215168e0fb.jpg?v=1683284237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-search-for-clarity-jean-claude-milner-9780810142848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
