Jacques Lacan: Seminars II and III - A Conversation with Todd McGowan

In this discussion with The Vanishing Mediators, Dr. Todd McGowan summarizes a number of the chief concepts in Jacques Lacan’s second seminars. He stresses the importance of the Purloined Letter as one of Lacan’s important entrees into Lacan’s theory of the signifier, explains the reasons behind Lacan’s resuscitation of the cogito, and gives us a preview of the ideas we’ll encounter in Seminar III.

Thank you for the nice comment. Our plan is to finish 3. Do a few videos on 4 and 5 and then move on to 7. We appreciate the support!

McGowan is great on Lacan. Him talking- I believe on an earlier episode of this channel- about how much of an ass Lacan is for making Ecrits much more difficult to understand is great.
