Críticas:

a This [is an] extraordinary book about the most flamboyant French neo--Freudian of the 20th century...a The Times a She acknowledges Lacana s personal absurdity and literary extravagance while simultaneously showing why and how he matters. Ms. Roudinesco captures the freshness of the intellectual world in which Lacana s developing notions were concocted ... Ms Roudinescoa s biography, solidly translated by Barbara Bray, is a welcome aid to keeping him in perspective.a The New York Times a The English translation of this biography is ... an event of the first importance.a The Times Higher Education Supplement a It is the richest and fullest biographical study of Lacan to date, and it is unlikely to be bettered for a long time.a Radical Philosophy a She provides perhaps the best, and certainly the most detailed, account of Lacana s life and work to date.a New Formations a A riveting and illuminating account of the life and thought of Freuda s most controversial posthumous rival. An accessible introductin to a demanding thinker.a Dennis Hollier, Yale University a For anyone seeking to understand what is distinctive about the French psychoanalytic tradition this book is simply indispensable.a Malcolm Bowie, Oxford University a Elisabeth Roudinesco takes us on a fascinating journey ... fascinating like Lacan himself.a Michael Kajman, Le Monde a [This book] is a wonderful success: clear and detailed, it will be read with interest by everyone -- including those who do not worship the Master.a Luc Ferry, La Express

Reseña del editor:

Roudinesco follows the development of Lacana s career from his early clinical practice and conflicts with the establishment, as he constantly pushed the boundaries of psychoanalysis from its roots in biology and neurology to a powerful critical tool that resonated in fields ranging from literary theory to feminist politics.
