The Truth of Impossible Being—image of Lacan's Philosophy (Revised Edition)

"The Truth of Impossible Existence - Lacan's Philosophical Image" (revised edition) starts from the perspective of philosophical textuality and systematically interprets the philosophical thought of Lacan, the master of French psychoanalysis and thought. The author Zhang Yibing takes the most important text in Lacan's famous Écrits as the basic interpretation object, deeply analyzes the complex academic background of Lacan's philosophy, and uses his unique subversive diachronic connection to illustrate the potential inheritance relationship between Lacan and academic trends such as Surrealism, Neo-Hegelianism, and Linguistic Structuralism, especially his profound betrayal and high passion for Freudian psychoanalysis. In Zhang Yibing's writings, the pseudo-individual subject theory in Lacan's philosophy is exposed on the broad logical platform of the history of modern Western thought: in mirror mapping, the essence of human personal self is nothing more than an imaginative operation composed of the image of the small other; in symbolic logic, the subject of traditional philosophy is accused of being the unconscious self-identification of the other, and the personal subject is thus reduced to a language scarecrow with an empty belly; therefore, the truth of personal existence can always only be an impossibility in reality.
