[[Jacques Lacan]] is one of the most challenging and controversial contemporary thinkers, as well as the most influential [[:Category:Psychoanalysts|psychoanalyst]] since [[Freud]]. [[Lacanian]] [[theory]] has reached far beyond the consulting room to engage with such diverse disciplines as [[literature]], [[film]], [[gender]] and [[social theory]]. This introduction provides an accessible [[guide]] to Lacanian [[concepts]] and his [[writing]] on:
* the [[imaginary]] and the [[symbolic]]
* the [[Oedipus]] [[complex]] and the [[meaning]] of the [[phallus]]
* the [[subject]] and the [[unconscious]]
* the [[real]]
* [[sexual difference]].
This introduction locates [[Lacan]]'s [[work]] in the context of contemporary [[French]] [[thought]] and the [[history]] of [[psychoanalysis]]. With a unique focus on historical and [[intellectual]] contexts, the introduction examas Lacan's [[signifiance]], motivation, key [[ideas]] and their sources, and his impact on [[other]] thinkers.
