Changes

[[Lacan]] takes us on a startling psycholinguistic exploration of the bounds of [[love]] and [[knowledge]].  Often controversial, always inspired, [[French]] [[intellectual]] [[Jacques Lacan]] begins the twentieth year of his famous [[Seminar]] by weighing theories of the relationship between the [[desire]] for [[love]] and the attainment of [[knowledge]] from such influential and diverse thinkers as [[Aristotle]], [[Marx]], and [[Freud]].  From here he leads us through [[mathematics]], [[philosophy]], [[religion]], and, naturally, [[psychoanalysis]] into an entirely new and unexpected way of interpreting the two most fundamental [[human]] [[drive]]s.  Anticipated by English-speaking readers for more than twenty years, this annotated translation presents [[Lacan]]'s most sophisticated work on [[love]], [[desire]], and [[jouissance]].
