Lacan's Critique of Descartes and the Discourse of the University

The chapter explores Lacan's critique of Descartes and the dangers of merging the discourse of analysis with that of the university, particularly regarding the concept of the unconscious. It hints at Lacan's forthcoming exploration of the Marquis Desaude and the discourse of loving truth versus saving truth. The chapter delves into Lacan's positioning in relation to the university, the master, and the discourse of the hysteric as a model for protest.
