Jacques Lacan: Esbozo de una vida, historia de un sistema de pensamiento

Synopsis of Jacques Lacan: Esbozo de una vida, historia de un sistema de pensamiento

This work is the first comprehensive biography of the influential French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan. Through a deep analysis, author Élisabeth Roudinesco explores both the thinker's personal life and the evolution of his complex system of ideas, which sought to subvert traditional Freudianism and pull the human being from the shadows of the occult into the light of reason and truth. Originally published in French, this book is a fundamental piece for understanding the history of psychoanalysis and Lacan's impact on contemporary thought.
