This volume is based on a year’s [[seminar]], which is of particular importance because he was addressing a larger, less specialist audience than ever before, amongst whom he could not assume familiarity with his work.
----
For his listeners then, and for his readers now, he wanted "to introduce a certain coherence into the major concepts on which [[psychoanalysis|psycho-analysis]] is based", namely the ''[[unconscious]]'', ''[[repetition]]'', the ''[[transference]]'' and the ''[[drive]]''.
----
Along the way he argues for a structural affinity between [[psychoanalysis]] and [[language]], discusses the relation of [[psychoanalysis]] to [[religion]], and reveals his particular stance on topics ranging from [[sexual difference|sexuality]] and [[death]] to [[alienation]] and [[repression]].
This book constitutes the essence of [[Lacan]]'s sensibility.
