the long version

Psychoanalysis was the most important intellectual development of the 20th century. From psychiatry to politics, it left no field untouched.

Alain Badiou described psychoanalysis as an 'antiphilosophy': a practice that offers the strongest possible challenges to thought. Now, Justin Clemens examines psychoanalysis under this rubric.
