Lacan and Phenomenology: The mind of the modernist - Professor Louis Sass

While not identifying himself as a Lacanian, Louis Sass provides a historical survey of various intellectual traditions - existentialism, (post)structuralism, the turn against humanism, and, crucially, phenomenology - that have influenced Lacanian psychoanalysis. Heidegger, for Sass, can be considered to play the part of a 'vanishing mediator' between Lacanian psychoanalysis and phenomenology. Bearing this in mind, and drawing on several of Heidegger's key concepts, Sass goes on to argue that careful attention to Lacan's three registers (real, symbolic and imaginary) allows us to identify three critiques of phenomenology. Aware though of the limitations of the standard polemics that view phenomenology and Lacanian theory as categorically opposed, Sass goes on to argue that many of Lacan's key notions have great potential for a broadly understood 'phenomenological' exploration of human subjectivity.
