Beschreibungen

Within the context of a careful review of the psychology of religion and prior non-Lacanian literature on the subject, Raul Moncayo builds a bridge between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism that steers clear of reducing one to the other or creating a simplistic synthesis between the two. Instead, by making a purposeful &quote;One-mistake&quote; of &quote;unknown knowing&quote;, this book remains consistent with the analytic unconscious and continues in the splendid tradition of Bodhidharma who did not know &quote;Who&quote; he was and told Emperor Wu that there was no merit in building temples for Buddhism.Both traditions converge on the teaching that &quote;true subject is no ego&quote;, or on the realisation that a new subject requires the symbolic death or deconstruction of imaginary ego-identifications. Although Lacanian psychoanalysis is known for its focus on language and Zen is considered a form of transmission outside the scriptures, Zen is not without words while Lacanian psychoanalysis stresses the senseless letter of the Real or of a jouissance written on and with the body. The Signifier Pointing at the Moon proposes that the truths of desire do not conflict with the teaching of emptiness because a desire for emptiness, or the emptiness at the root of desire, regenerates rather than annihilates desire.
