The first goal of this assortment is to teach that the topicality of Lacan's legacy to modern philosophy is very obtrusive in regards to present debates which, in trying to triumph over the spurious divide among continental and analytic traditions, in addition to among the human, social and typical sciences, were completely rethinking the notions of realism and materialism, in addition to their implications for aesthetics, ethics, politics, and theology. kind of explicitly, all of the essays incorporated within the current quantity take on any such complicated speculative articulation by means of concentrating on the way a Lacanian process can shed new gentle on conventional options of Western philosophy, if no longer rehabilitate them. The 'new' within the 'new new release' that provides the name to the current choice of articles is much from rhetorical. the entire authors incorporated are less than fifty years of age, so much are below 40, and a few are even less than thirty. with no exception, they've got, although, already secured a admired place in debates in regards to the relation among philosophy and psychoanalysis, or are within the strategy of doing so. the opposite contiguous novelty of this quantity that marks a big shift from past makes an attempt at providing Lacan in discussion avec les philosophes is its markedly foreign measurement. participants stay and paintings in seven varied international locations, that are, in addition, now not constantly their nations of starting place. because the reader should be in a position to be certain via taking into account the respectful depth of the various cross-references found in those essays - which could be taken as a really partial sedimentation of exchanges of principles and collaborative initiatives that, occasionally, were ongoing for nearly a decade - geographical distance looks to were worthwhile to the overcoming of Lacan's confinement to the intended orthodoxy of particular - provincial - faculties and their pathetic fratricidal wars, when in parallel bettering highbrow rigour. those items reconsider philosophically via Lacan, with as little jargon as attainable, during this order, realism, god, heritage, genesis and constitution, writing, common sense, freedom, the grasp and slave dialectic, and the act.

This brings us back to the core of our discussion, to the question of realism and of the real that psychoanalysis shares with science, and this is how one could sum up the main point of this discussion. If the subject of the unconscious is the subject of (modern) science, this is precisely in so far as it is essentially linked to the field in which discourse has consequences. Without the latter there is no subject, and certainly no subject of the unconscious. This is how one should understand Lacan’s statement that the subject is the ‘answer of the real’, la réponse du réel.
E. by working through the fantasy of the imaginary father. The following reflections are meant as a contribution to the discussion of the relationship between mathematical ontology and Lacanian psychoanalysis. While I see the advantages of their alliance, I also think that—contrary for example to Alain Badiou’s claim in his essay ‘God is dead’9 —it is not possible to leave the signifier ‘god’ in the dustbin of history. e. from the real father in the ordinary sense of the word, the really existing father with his more or less sad and dumb holding the place of the symbolic, through which he institutes castration), the path of the subject in which the ‘subject chooses herself as subject and not as (psychological) “ego”’ necessarily has to move through the loss of 8.
This is a dimension introduced (and made possible) by the signifier, yet irreducible to it. It has (or can have) a positive, albeit spectral quality, which can be formulated in the precise terms of ‘with without (cream)’ as irreducible to both alternatives (cream/no cream). When mother thus appears in this singular composition with negation, that is, when she appears as ‘not-mother’, it looks as if both terms irredeemably contaminate each other. As if the ‘not’ marks the mother with the stamp of unconscious desire (‘like made in Germany stamped on the object’, as Freud puts it), and ‘mother’ no less contaminates the formal purity of the negation with—as we sometimes read on the packaging of certain kinds of food—some ‘traces of elements’.
