The original chad.

The father, the Name-of-the-father, sustains the structure of desire with the structure of the law- but the inheritance of the father is that which Kierkegaard designates for us, namely, his sin.

>Lacan snuck Kierkegaardian existentialism into psychoanalysis and the trend-hopping frogs never knew

No, not really.

Nothing original. He just applied Hegel and Bataille to Freud

>Lacan had an absolute hatred of traffic lights, or rather of red lights, that he simply could not abide them, refused to obey them.

Pleasure limits the scope of human possibility -- the pleasure principle is a principle of homeostasis. Desire, on the other hand, finds its boundary, its strict relation, its limit, and it is in the relation to this limit that it is sustained as such, crossing the threshold imposed by the pleasure principle.

>IN THE AUTUMN OF 1975 Jacques Lacan, the French structuralist psychoanalyst, paid a rare visit to the United States. Convinced that he was world famous, he announced on his arrival in New York that he wanted to make a private visit to the Metropolitan Opera House. 'Tell them I am Lacan,’ he said. His academic hosts were momentarily nonplussed but, knowing the perils of crossing their guest, rapidly found a solution to the problem. They phoned the director of the Metropolitan and told him that Jean-Paul Sartre wanted to visit incognito. Flattered, the director agreed at once. Having been warned not to address the philosopher by name, he received his distinguished French visitor graciously and a memorable day ensued. Lacan was delighted by his welcome.

Try reading Lacan next time

>One night during a lecture in Paris in 1964, Lacan decided he’d had enough of an annoying heckler who was tipsy and yelling at him throughout the show. The patron was told to shut up repeatedly but kept interrupting the show until suddenly Lacan declared, “Ladies and gentlemen, there’s someone who’s been interrupting the show all night, but he won’t do it any longer!” He then jumped off stage, grabbed the guy, tackled him, and took him out into the alley, beat the hell out of him, and reportedly broke the heckler’s arm twisting it [Source: Serge Leclaire]. Then, according to Serge, “Lacan came back and continued the lecture.”

There hasn't been a legit French philosopher since Rousseau, unless you count Pierre Duhem and Henri Poincaré.

its a shame really. Instead of living the life of some recluse German sage, french men chat up chicks and COOM anytime they can.

They're also great cooks.

Descartes was the last french philosopher

> A frequent womaniser, Lacan’s friends weren’t immune to his self-centred desires. While his wife assumed she was in a monogamous marriage, Lacan was out philandering with famous French actresses. One of those actresses was Sylvia Bataille, and if the name sounds familiar it’s because she was married to the esteemed writer, and friend of Lacan, Georges Bataille. To Lacan’s credit, the two were separated before Lacan’s “intervention”. Against Lacan’s credit, he concealed the existence of the daughter he fathered with Sylvia to his other children.
> Lacan had a twisted sense of humour; he named his beloved dog Justine, after the eponymous sex slave of the Marquis de Sade book. He also famously noted: “There’s a lot psychoanalysis can do, but it’s powerless against stupidity.” And winter sports, for Lacan, were a “kind of concentration camp for affluent old age”

yeah, Im thinking he's based

truly the king of the 20th century

As a sort of come on, I announced that I would speak today about that piece of bait known as Ophelia, and I'll be as good as my word.
Our purpose is to show the tragedy of desire as it appears on Hamlet, human desire, that is, such as we are concerned with in psychoanalysis.
