Book excerpt: This thesis, with regard to its basic methodoligical approach, relies significantly on Slavoj Zizek's elaborations of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory. More specifically, it adopts the Lacanian account of the operations of fantasy to explore the expectations and assumptions of Chinese intellectual discourse. For Lacanian theorists, psychoanalysis is not merely an analytic theory and therapeutic practice revolving around the psyche of the individual. The dominant bipolarities: individual/collective and subjective/objective are utterly rejected in Lacanian discourse. The basic Lacanian thesis is that what constitutes the subject and the social (in Lacanian jargon, the big Other) is the Lack, which prevents it from acquiring real fullness, and in turn, spurs the desire for fullness (of the subject in relation to the projected Other). It is this constitutive impossibility that marks both the domain of the individual and that of the social: it is impossible not only for the subject to acquire a full identity, but also for the Other to be fully constructed in a given socio-symbolic order.

Download or read book The Signifier Pointing at the Moon written by Raul Moncayo. This book was released on 2018-05-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the context of a careful review of the psychology of religion and prior non-Lacanian literature on the subject, Raul Moncayo builds a bridge between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism that steers clear of reducing one to the other or creating a simplistic synthesis between the two. Instead, by making a purposeful "One-mistake" of "unknown knowing", this book remains consistent with the analytic unconscious and continues in the splendid tradition of Bodhidharma who did not know "Who" he was and told Emperor Wu that there was no merit in building temples for Buddhism. Both traditions converge on the teaching that "true subject is no ego", or on the realisation that a new subject requires the symbolic death or deconstruction of imaginary ego-identifications. Although Lacanian psychoanalysis is known for its focus on language and Zen is considered a form of transmission outside the scriptures, Zen is not without words while Lacanian psychoanalysis stresses the senseless letter of the Real or of a jouissance written on and with the body.
