The standard lexicon for orientation in Lacan's work. Lacanian concepts have proven to be highly applicable in various theoretical fields, even though his work is difficult to read and has only been partially published. The 175 entries in this dictionary lead to the essential structures of Lacanian thought and explain the historical and psychoanalytic pathways from Freud to Lacan. With graphics and overviews, such as the series of seminars, Lacanian algebra, topology, etc., Dylan Evans' dictionary offers valuable tools. It serves as a reliable guide for the application of Lacanian approaches in the humanities and cultural sciences. Lacan's return to Freud and his redefinitions of Freudian terminology are placed in their historical and institutional context. His references to Saussure and philosophers from Plato to Hegel to Heidegger are also discussed. A brief chronology of Jacques Lacan's life and work completes the picture.
