The Influence of Lacan on Badu's Philosophy of the Subject

Badu is influenced by Lacan and considers him top caliber. He wants to resurrect a subject-centered philosophy and sees Descartes and Lacan as key figures in that plot. Although he is not an analyst, he has faithfully studied the Lacanian event. Badu's pronouncement on evil reflects Lacan's idea that truth can only be partially expressed, and naming everything would result in totalitarianism. Badu believes there should be a remainder, as discussed by jesic.
