Less than ten years later, Lacan vehemently condemns Freud for \u201cpromoting the One\u201d and thus falling back into the very \u201csermonizing\u201d he abhorred. In this seminar, Dr Lorenzo Chiesa aims at exploring the reasons for such a seemingly drastic change in Lacan\u2019s orientation. Why does Freudianism not suffice for atheism? In what sense is religion \u201cinvincible\u201d even and especially after the death of God? How can psychoanalysis resist religion only by \u201cgetting used to the real-real\u201d? What is the role of science in this?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dr Lorenzo Chiesa<\/strong> is a Lecturer in Philosophy at Newcastle University (UK), where he is the Co-Convenor of the Faculty Research Group in Critical Theory and Practice. He is also a visiting professor at the socio-political philosophy programme of the European University at St Petersburg, and author of books \u201cThe Not-Two: Logic and God in Lacan\u201d (The MIT Press, 2016), \u201cSubjectivity and Otherness\u201d (MIT Press, 2007) and \u201cThe Virtual Point of Freedom: Essays on Politics, Aesthetics, and Religion\u201d (Northwestern University Press, 2016).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event date and location: 22 April, 2021, Online (Zoom)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recordings","category-video"],"gutentor_comment":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1098"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1098\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1124,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1098\/revisions\/1124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
