{"product_id":"the-title-of-the-letter-jean-luc-nancy-9780791409626","title":"The Title of the Letter: A Reading of Lacan","description":"This book is a close reading of Jacques Lacan's seminal essay, \"The Agency of the Letter in the Unconscious or Reason Since Freud, \" selected for the particular light it casts on Lacan's complex relation to linguistics, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. It clarifies the way Lacan renews or transforms the psychoanalytic field, through his diversion of Saussure's theory of the sign, his radicalization of Freud's fundamental concepts, and his subversion of dominant philosophical values. The authors argue, however, that Lacan's discourse is marked by a deep ambiguity: while he invents a new \"language,\" he nonetheless maintains the traditional metaphysical motifs of systemacity, foundation, and truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean-Luc Nancy, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791409627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791409626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.94w x 0.52d","brand":"Jean-Luc Nancy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992421400831,"sku":"9780791409626","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09e64198-47bc-4375-b375-01f454b8e14d.jpg?v=1683318871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-title-of-the-letter-jean-luc-nancy-9780791409626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
