Heidegger's letter about Lacan
anecdote · philosophy ·
retold in 3 talks
Comparing the original published version of 'The Function and Field of Speech' with its revision in Écrits, Žižek shows Lacan desperately erased Hegelian traces: in the early version the analyst is the Hegelian master with absolute knowing; later he retracted this, linking analytic neutrality to Hegelian passivity instead.

“Lacan had a bad impression as well where he gave him a lift in his car Heidegger kept complaining that Lacan was driving too fast and Lacan just drove faster.”
