In this first English translation of a classic text by one of the foremost commentators on Lacan's work, Nasio eloquently demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory, even in its most difficult or obscure moments. Five Lessons on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Jacques Lacan is the first English translation of a classic text by one of the foremost commentators on Lacan's work. Juan-David Nasio makes numerous theoretical advances and eloquently demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory, even in its most difficult or obscure moments. What is distinctive, in the end, about Nasio's treatment of Lacan's theory is the extent to which Lacan's fundamental concepts -- the unconscious, jouissance, and the body -- become the locus of the overturning or exceeding of the discrete boundaries of the individual. The recognition of the of the implications of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, then, brings the analyst to adopt what Nasio calls a "special listening".
Philosophical reflections on the phenomenon of globalization
Dominique Janicaud claimed that every French intellectual movement-from existentialism to psychoanalysis-was influenced by Martin Heidegger. This translation of Janicaud's landmark work, Heidegger en France, details Heidegger's reception in philosophy and other humanistic and social science disciplines. Interviews with key French thinkers such as Francoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida, Eliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy. An intellectual undertaking of authoritative scope, this work furnishes a thorough history of the French reception of Heidegger's thought.
Our contemporary challenge, according to Jean-Luc Nancy and
Aurelien Barrau, is that a new world has stolen up on us. We no
longer live in a world, but in worlds. We do not live in a universe
anymore, but rather in a multiverse. We no longer create; we
appropriate and montage. And we no longer build sovereign,
hierarchical political institutions; we form local assemblies and
networks of cross-national assemblages and we do this at the same
time as we form multinational corporations that no longer pay taxes
to the state. In such a time, one of the world's most eminent
philosophers and an emerging astrophysicist return to the ancient
art of cosmology. Nancy and Barrau's work is a study of life,
plural worlds, and what the authors call the struction or
rebuilding of these worlds.

Translation of a French text published in 1992 by +ditions Rivages. Nasio (psychology, U. of Paris VII) demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory.

In "The Book of Love and Pain, Juan-David Nasio offers the first exclusive treatment of psychic pain in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalytic literature. Using insights gained from more than three decades as a practicing psychoanalyst, Nasio addresses the limits faced by the analyst in attempting to think and treat pain psychoanalytically. He suggests that while pain is about separation and loss, "psychic pain is intensified by paradoxical overinvestment in the lost loved one. Included are discussions of the pain of mourning, the pain of "jouissonce, unconscious pain, pain as an object of the drive, pain as a form of sexuality pain and the scream, and the pain of silence. In offering a phenomenological description of psychic pain, The Book of Love and Pain fills a gaping void in psychoanalytic research and will play an important role in our understanding of the human psyche.
The essays gathered here explore the relationship between German phenomenology and the French Cartesian tradition and how productive this encounter has been. Among the philosophers under discussion are Levinas, Beaufret, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Foucault, Derrida, Nancy, Lacoue-Labarthe, Deleuze, Irigaray, Zarader, Greisch and Dastur.
