Closely examining Jacques Lacan's unique mode of engagement with
philosophy, Lacan with the Philosophers sheds new light on the
interdisciplinary relations between philosophy and psychoanalysis.
While highlighting the philosophies fundamental to the study of
Lacan's psychanalysis, Ruth Ronen reveals how Lacan resisted the
straightforward use of these works. Lacan's use of philosophy
actually has a startling effect in not only providing exceptional
entries into the philosophical texts (of Aristotle, Descartes, Kant
and Hegel), but also in exposing the affinity between philosophy
and psychoanalysis around shared concepts (including truth, the
unconscious, and desire), and at the same time affirming the
irreducible difference between the analyst and the philosopher.
Inspired by Lacan's resistance to philosophy, Ruth Ronen addresses
Lacan's use of philosophy to create a fertile moment of exchange.
Straddling the fields of philosophy and psychoanalysis with equal
emphasis, Lacan with the Philosophers develops a unique
interdisciplinary analysis and offers a new perspective on the body
of Lacan's writings.

This volume celebrates the scholarship of Professor Johan C. Thom
by tackling various important topics relevant for the study of the
New Testament, such as the intellectual environment of early
Christianity, especially Greek, Latin, and early Jewish texts, New
Testament apocrypha and other early Christian writings, as well as
Greek grammar. The authors offer fresh insights on philosophical
texts and traditions, the cultural repertoire of early Christian
literature, critical editions, linguistics and interpretation, and
comparative analyses of ancient writings.
