This book offers the first comprehensive discussion of Lacan's Kant
with Sade, an essay widely recognised as one of his most important
and difficult texts. Here, the reader will find a detailed roadmap
for each section of the essay, including clarifications of the
allusions, implicit borrowings and references in Lacan's text,
unique insights into the essay's publication history, and a
critical assessment of its reception. The author expertly defines
key terms, explains complex theoretical arguments, and
contextualises the work within a larger philosophical discourse. No
prior knowledge of Lacan, Kant or Sade is assumed, allowing both
newcomers and those who are well-versed in psychoanalysis,
philosophy, and literary criticism to benefit from the book. This
engaging book clears the path for a long overdue re-discovery and a
proper appreciation of one of Lacan's most challenging works,
inspiring a renewed debate on the significance of Lacanian
psychoanalysis for moral philosophy and literary theory.
