Lacans's nightingale - Jacques-Alain Miller
In this important work, Jacques-Alain Miller offers an insightful, lyrical and persuasive argument for a mode of psychoanalytic practice that emphasizes the contingent and the singular. Terms like contingency and singularity are perhaps common place in our post-modern social experience. However, in this intellectual tour de force, Miller gives depth and range to such concepts. Drawing on an impressive range of scholarship from philosophy to literature to the history of science, he provides the reader a solid basis on which to engage the contingency of language and human subjectivity. Miller also demonstrates the unique contribution of Lacan’s Seminar making such awareness possible. Moreover, Miller’s discussion of Keats’s “Ode to a Nightingale”, via Borges, powerfully illuminates both the challenge and promise of practicing in the Lacanian orientation.
