The starting position of Lacan, `the unconscious is structured like a language`, implies the subject's dependence on the order of signifiers.
But what is the nature of this dependence, upon which subjectivity is marked by a radical alienation? Clarifying this question requires examining the relationship of the Subject, object `a`, and the Other, through which the dynamics of desire are woven into the speaking being.
The author of this book proposes a methodology that runs through all the theoretical-clinical articulations that answer this question. On this occasion, it discusses concepts that are equally fundamental, such as the subject, the singular characteristic, the signifier, the cut, the identification, the analytic act, and the fantasy.
Furthermore, it sheds light on the nature of topological borrowings as explanatory supports through an argumentation that combines precision and simplicity.
In summary, the second volume of the Introduction, which is imbued with the same spirit as the first, is an excellent synthesis of one of the densest periods of Lacanian thought, to which a series of references are added that pave the way for a valid reading of Lacan's work.
