Description

Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan’s ‘The Freudian Thing’ by Adrian Johnston In Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan’s ‘The Freudian Thing’, Adrian Johnston provides a critical analysis of Jacques Lacan's essay The Freudian Thing, which focuses on the notion of truth within psychoanalysis. Johnston examines Lacan’s interpretation of Sigmund Freud’s work, particularly how Freud's concept of the thing—the unconscious, the repressed, and the unspoken—functions as a cornerstone of psychoanalytic theory. Lacan's revision of Freud’s ideas offers a complex theory where the thing is not simply a repressed object but represents a deeper, elusive truth that is irremediably absent from the conscious mind. Johnston explores how Lacan situates the thing as an irrepressible force in the structure of human subjectivity, emphasizing the role of language and desire in the formation of the self. He also critiques the philosophical underpinnings of Lacan’s arguments, discussing how Lacan’s psychoanalysis offers an alternative to traditional epistemology and metaphysics, particularly through the lens of psychoanalytic theory’s engagement with the real, the symbolic, and the imaginary. Johnston’s analysis delves into the intersections of Lacan’s psychoanalysis with broader philosophical debates, offering new insights into Lacan's vision of truth as a process that is perpetually deferred and inaccessible, yet central to the psychoanalytic understanding of the human condition.
