In A Search for Clarity: Science and Philosophy in Lacan's Oeuvre,
Jean-Claude Milner argues that although Jacques Lacan's writing is
notoriously obscure his oeuvre is entirely clear. In a discussion
that considers the difference between the esoteric and exoteric
works of Plato and Aristotle, Milner argues that Lacan's oeuvre is
to be found in his published writings alone, not his transcribed
seminars, and that these published writings contain his official
doctrine. This means that Lacan's oeuvre is already complete, even
though many of his seminars remain unpublished.According to Milner,
Lacan's fundamental idea is that the subject psychoanalysis works
on is the subject of science. Milner suggests that this is a
supplement to Alexandre Koyre's and Alexandre Kojeve's accounts of
modern science, for which mathematization and a break from the
ancient episteme were key. A Search for Clarity is the definitive
statement on how Lacan viewed the relationship between
psychoanalysis and science, and on how Lacan's thinking evolved as
he struggled to draw out the consequences of the equation he
posited between psychoanalysis and science. In an afterword written
specifically for this translation, Milner discusses how his views
on the late Lacan have shifted since the writing of A Search for
Clarity, especially regarding the significance of James Joyce,
lalangue, and homophony. Milner's work on Lacan has been essential
reading in French for decades. This English translation will make
Milner's unique and illuminating work accessible to a broader
audience.
