Description: Jacques the Sophist by Barbara Cassin, Michael Syrotinski Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Sophistry has long been philosophys bad other, yet in many ways, its emphasis on words and performativity remain more important than philosophical Truth. This book celebrates an underground survival of the sophistical tradition in the work of work of psychoanalysis, and its determination to take seriously equivocations, jokes, and unfinishable projects of interpretation. Publisher Description Sophistry, since Plato and Aristotle, has been philosophys negative alter ego, its bad other. Yet sophistrys emphasis on words and performativity over the fetishization of truth makes it an essential part of our worlds cultural, political, and philosophical repertoire. In this dazzling book, Barbara Cassin, who has done more than anyone to reclaim a mode of thought that traditional philosophy disavows, shows how the sophistical tradition has survived in the work of psychoanalysis.In a highly original rereading of the writings and seminars of Jacques Lacan, together with works of Freud and others, Cassin shows how psychoanalysis, like the sophists, challenges the very foundations of scientific rationality. In taking seriously equivocations, jokes, and unfinishable projects of interpretation, the analyst, like the sophist, allows performance, signifier, and inconsistency to reshape truth.This witty, brilliant tour de force celebrates how psychoanalysts have become our cultures key dissidents and register, in Lacans words, "the presence of the sophist in our time."
