Dr. Richard Boothby: On The Subject of Love

Dr. Richard Boothby invites Mari Ruti and Alain Badiou to discuss Freud and Lacan's views on love. They explore narcissism in relationships, the processes of mourning and melancholia, and the interplay of love and narcissism. They also delve into Freud's death drive and its connection to love, as well as Lacan's concept of Dostin. Lastly, they explore love as a transformative experience and Badu's ontological challenge of love.
