==About this book==
This book sets out to determine the validity of an accusation made against Jacques [[Lacan]] by Noam [[Chomsky]] in an interview in 1989. He stated that Lacan was a “charlatan” – not that his [[ideas]] were flawed or wrong, but that his entire [[discourse]] was fraudulent, an accusation that has since been repeated by many [[other]] critics. Examining the arguments of key anti-[[Lacanian]] critics, Mathews weighs and contextualizes the legitimacy of Lacan’s engagements with [[structural]] [[linguistics]], [[mathematical]] [[formalization]], [[science]], [[ethics]], [[Hegelian]] dialectics, and [[psychoanalysis]]. The guiding thread is Lacan’s own recurrent interrogation of [[authority]], which inhabits an ambiguous zone between [[mastery]] and charlatanry. This book offers a novel contribution to the field for students and scholars of psychoanalysis, [[philosophy]], [[sociology]], critical and [[literary]] [[theory]].
