The How to Read series provides a context and an explanation that
will facilitate and enrich your understanding of texts vital to the
canon. These books use excerpts from the major texts to explain
essential topics, such as Jacques Lacan's core ideas about
enjoyment, which re-created our concept of psychoanalysis. Lacan s
motto of the ethics of psychoanalysis involves a profound paradox.
Traditionally, psychoanalysis was expected to allow the patient to
overcome the obstacles which prevented access to "normal" sexual
enjoyment; today, however, we are bombarded by different versions
of the injunction "Enjoy " Psychoanalysis is the only discourse in
which you are allowed not to enjoy. Slavoj i ek s passionate
defense of Lacan reasserts Lacan s ethical urgency. For Lacan,
psychoanalysis is a procedure of reading and each chapter reads a
passage from Lacan as a tool to interpret another text from
philosophy, art or popular ideology."
