{"product_id":"lacan-and-cassirer-mooij-9789004373426","title":"Lacan and Cassirer: An Essay on Symbolisation","description":"The Neo-Kantian philosopher Cassirer and the psychoanalyst Lacan are two key figures in the so-called medial turn in philosophy: the notion that any form of access to reality is mediated by symbols (images, words, signifiers). This explains why the theories of both philosophers merit a description in their own unique idioms, as well as having their respective basic tenets compared. It will be argued that, rather surprisingly, these tenets turn out be complementary - actually correcting each other - based on their shared notion of man as an \u003ci\u003eanimal symbolicum\u003c\/i\u003e. Its fruitfulness will be substantiated for a limited number of topics within the humanities: perception, language, politics and ethics, and mental disorder, all to be considered from this perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antoine Mooij\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900437342X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004373426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Antoine Mooij","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075253858559,"sku":"9789004373426","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cc220b49-1c62-427c-a6d2-d93b42a1bd82.jpg?v=1685458485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lacan-and-cassirer-mooij-9789004373426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
