Lacan critiqued imaginary intuition for confusing direct perception
with unconscious pre-conceptions about people and the world. The
emphasis on description goes hand in hand with a rejection of
theory and the science of the unconscious and a belief in the naive
self-transparency of the world. At the same time, knowing in and of
the Real requires a place beyond thinking, multi-valued forms of
logic, mathematical equations, and different conceptions of
causality, acausality, and chance. This book explores some of the
mathematical problems raised by Lacan's use of numbers and the
interconnection between mathematics and psychoanalytic ideas.
Within any system, mathematical or otherwise, there are holes, or
acausal cores and remainders of indecidability. It is this
senseless point of non-knowledge that makes change, and the
emergence of the new, possible within a system. This book
differentiates between two types of void, and aligns them with the
Lacanian concepts of a true and a false hole and the psychoanalytic
theory of primary repression. Finally, through jouissance, the
language of desire is re-joined to the formal marks of the object
and the language of science.This explains the connection in
Lacanian theory among logic, the Real, mathematics, and jouissance.
