Episode notes
Solid Hatred Addressed to Being
- Lacan's concept of "solid hatred addressed to being" describes a repressed hatred towards existence.
- This hatred, revealed through psychoanalysis, is a starting point for therapy, not love.
Being vs. The Real
- Lacan distinguishes between "being," the symbolic order constructed by the Other, and the "real."
- Accessing the "real" requires rejecting the symbolic order, a form of Gnostic subversion.
The Other and Alienation
- The Other (with a capital O) constructs "being" through language, alienating us from our "real" selves.
- This alienation fuels the "solid hatred" and the desire to reconnect with the lost real.
