What is Jacques the Sophist : Lacan, Logos, and Psychoanalysis about?

Sophistry has long been philosophy’s 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. A highly original reading of psychoanalysis, and the much-discussed work of Jacques Lacan in particular, as inheriting a subterranean anti-philosophical tradition inherited not from Plato and all his mainstream philosophical inheritors but from his antagonists, the Sophists.
