Description

Lacanian theorists and philosophers have had to formulate responses to the volatile branch of philosophy known as speculative realism. Alain Badiou has claimed that Quentin Meillassoux's book After Finitude (Bloomsbury, 2008) "opened up a new path in the history of philosophy." Thus, it became possible to pursue an investigation into the metaphysical category of the real outside of its determinative symbolic and imaginary correlates. For their part, Lacanians have responded by reaffirming orthodoxy. For them, the real is always embedded within the wider trinity of the symbolic and imaginary. Lacanian Realism sets the record straight. 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 Zizek, Alain Badiou, Saul Newman, Todd May, Joan Copjec, Jacques Ranciere, and others, and; third, by arguing that the subject exists intimately within the real.
