N2  - Love, hate, slavery, torture, addiction and death - as this book shows, only psychoanalysis can speak well of such mattersPsychoanalysis was the most important intellectual development of the 20th century, which left no practice from psychiatry to philosophy to politics untouched. Yet it was also in many ways an untouchable project, caught between science and poetry, medicine and hermeneutics. This unsettled, unsettling status has recently induced the philosopher Alain Badiou to characterise psychoanalysis as an 'antiphilosophy', that is, as a practice that issues the strongest possible challenges to thought. Justin Clemens takes up the challenge of this denomination here, by re-examining a series of crucial psychoanalytic themes: addiction, fanaticism, love, slavery and torture. Drawing from the work of Freud, Lacan, Badiou, Agamben and others, Psychoanalysis is an Antiphilosophy offers a radical reconstruction of the operations and import of key psychoanalytic concepts and a renewed sense of the indispensable powers of psychoanalysis for today.About the AuthorJustin Clemens' Academia.edu profileReviews'Justin Clemens interviewed on Psychoanalysis is an Antiphilosophy', published in Society and Space - Environment and Planning D'Rethinking and reconstructing psychoanalysis', published in The AgeMoreJustin Clemens applies the page 99 test to Psychoanalysis is an Antiphilosophy in the Page 99 Test blog"
