More than nothing, less than something:Sartrean bad faith and Lacanian misrecognition
Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between Sartre and Lacan in order to clarify both their points of convergence and divergence, and to explore how Sartre’s existentialist framework sheds light on key stakes in Lacan’s pre-1953 theory of the subject. Rather than treating these early writings merely as a prelude to structuralism, we highlight their conceptual depth and significance in their own right.
