Alain Badiou has claimed that Quentin Meillassoux's book After Finitude (Bloomsbury, 2008) "opened up a new path in the history of philosophy.â ? And so, whether you agree or disagree with the speculative realism movement, it has to be addressed. Lacanian Realism does just that. This book reconstructs Lacanian dogma from the ground up: first, by unearthing a new reading of the Lacanian category of the real; second, by demonstrating the political and cultural ingenuity of Lacan's concept of the real, and by positioning this against the more reductive analyses of the concept by Slavoj Å½iÅ¾ek, Alain Badiou, Saul Newman, Todd May, Joan Copjec, Jacques Ranci¨re, and others, and; third, by arguing that the subject exists intimately within the real. Lacanian Realism is an imaginative and timely exploration of the relationship between Lacanian psychoanalysis and contemporary continental philosophy.

Industry Reviews

Rousselle's efforts must be applauded and his originality celebrated, for he has brought together disciplines-philosophy, politics, psychoanalysis-that do not always make for intellectual bedfellows. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, and professionals.
