Starting from a statement by Lacan in 1965, the book unravels how the analytical word and sophistic discourse share mechanisms and strategies, questioning Aristotle's principle of non-contradiction. The reader will find a rigorous analysis that illuminates the relationship between language, truth, and meaning in the work of Jacques Lacan, offering an original perspective on contemporary psychoanalytic practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book begins with Lacan's provocative thesis that the psychoanalyst is the sophist of our time. Barbara Cassin uses her deep knowledge of ancient philosophy to demonstrate the structural similarities between the discourse of psychoanalysis and sophistic rhetoric. It analyzes how both operate on the margins of meaning, working with slips of the tongue, jokes, and paradoxes to reveal what conventional language hides. The work focuses on the critical dialogue between Lacan and Aristotle, especially regarding the principle of non-contradiction, and proposes that the Lacanian statement \"there is no sexual relationship\" occupies a place analogous to that of the first Aristotelian principles, thus redefining the foundations of thought and speech.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relationship between Lacanian psychoanalysis and classical sophistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of Aristotle's principle of non-contradiction from a Lacanian perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFunction of language, slips of the tongue, and jokes in the production of meaning and nonsense.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe analytical word as a discursive practice that destabilizes established truths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe place of the statement \"there is no sexual relationship\" as a new first philosophical principle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at psychoanalysts, students, and professionals of psychoanalysis interested in delving deeper into the work of Jacques Lacan from a philosophical perspective.
