This is the first comparative study of the work of the philosopher
Paul Ricoeur and the psychoanalayst Jacques Lacan. The book
explores the conflict between the two thinkers that arose from
their differing views of ethics: Ricoeur's universalist stance drew
on a phenomenological reading of Kant, whereas Lacan's was a
relativist position, derived from a psychoanalytic reading of Freud
and De Sade. "Ricoeur and Lacan" gives a full critical overview of
the work of both figures, tracing the origins and development of
their principal ideas, and identifying key similarities and
differences. The book identifies and explores the key philosophical
influences upon their work: Descartes; Kant; Nietzsche; Husserl;
Freud; Marcel; and Jaspers. It gives an original perspective upon
the development of ethics within Continental philosophy, providing
clear and cogent analysis. Finally, it evaluates the importance of
Ricoeur and Lacan in the development of ethical and political
theory since the 1980s, with particular reference to the work of
Slavoj Zizek. Not only a valuable and original addition to the
literature on two major thinkers, "Ricoeur and Lacan" is also an
important study of contemporary Continental ethics.
