Logical time. A concept illustrated by the clinic
This article is in three parts. The first part follows J.-A. Miller's thinking on the unconscious as a subject, as a want-to-be, which gives it an ethical, rather than an ontological, status. This way of thinking is not only in opposition to, but in my opinion also in...
From the Mirages of Knowing to the Docta Ignorantia, a reading of “Variantes de la cure-type”
