Jacques Lacan Philosophy

Exploring the Philosophical Roots of Lacanian Psychoanalysis
This event is designed to elucidate the philosophical influences that shaped Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory.
Key topics covered:
- Descartes & Lacan: Uncover how Descartes’ famous phrase Cogito ergo sum “I think, therefore I am” plays a role in Lacan’s idea of subjectivity and the split self.
- Kant & Lacan: Learn how Lacan’s interpretation of Kant’s moral philosophy challenges our ideas of ethics, desire, and human behaviour.
- Hegel & Lacan: Explore the influence of Hegel’s master-slave dialectic in Lacan’s notions of recognition, desire, and the self.

Benefits of attending the Jacques Lacan Philosophy webinar:
Deepen Understanding of Human Psychology
– Lacan’s work dives into how our unconscious mind shapes our thoughts, desires, and behaviours. By attending, you’ll gain insight into the underlying forces that influence human decision-making and relationships.
Learn the Structure of the Self
– Lacan revolutionised the concept of identity with ideas like the “mirror stage” and “the split subject.” Understanding these concepts helps explain how we develop a sense of self and the conflicts between who we think we are and how others perceive us.
Expand Your Philosophical Knowledge
– Lacan engaged with influential philosophical works of Hegel, Kant, Descartes, and Heidegger. Learning how he blended their ideas offers a richer understanding of modern philosophy and psychoanalysis.
Apply Lacan’s Ideas to Everyday Life
– Lacan’s thoughts on desire, language, and the unconscious can provide practical insights into everyday problems—such as why we repeat certain behaviours or struggle with relationships.
Engage with Contemporary Thought
– Lacan remains highly influential in academic fields like literature, film, and cultural studies. Learning about his philosophy equips you to better engage with modern intellectual discussions.
Enhance Critical Thinking Skills
– Lacan’s work is complex and abstract, but engaging with it improves your analytical abilities, helping you approach problems, both personal and academic, from different perspectives.
By attending the Jacques Lacan philosophy webinar, you’ll not only learn about Lacan’s philosophy but also expand your knowledge on psychoanalysis and modern Western philosophy.
