Jacques Lacan is a seminal figure in the history of thought, whose
radical contributions to thinking on subjectivity, sexuality and
language are hugely influential. However, Lacan's engagements with
religion – and specifically with traditions beyond the hegemonic
European tradition – have not received the attention they
deserve. Lacan himself translated Taoist texts, studied Maimonides'
The Guide for the Perplexed and engaged with occultism, Sufism and
the Kabbalistic tradition. This book offers the first in-depth
exploration of his work in this area, asking: how did the different
discourses on 'religion' influence Lacan's own thinking? And what
can Lacanian theory offer when it comes to the study of
non-European religious beliefs? Can it help us to step outside of
the Western Christian framework that still organizes the academic
knowledge of what religion should be? This collection critically
examines how Lacan helps us to question how far the European
understanding of these texts and traditions is tied to the
universal drive of capitalism and to the psychological
internalization of the history of colonialism.
