Learning About Lacan w/ Todd McGowan

10 snips
Jul 11, 2022
Todd McGowan unpacks Jacques Lacan’s return to Freud, from the unconscious as language to desire, addiction, and the elusive object that keeps us wanting. The conversation also explores how capitalism shapes our desires, what the symbolic order means in everyday life, and why political upheavals can crack open the world we take for granted.
