Jacques Lacan, the legendary French post-modernist, deconstructionist, psychoanalyst and philosopher, has been cutting a dash in cyberspace. The below clips are amongst the funniest things I have seen on the Internet:
Typical Jacques Lacan quote: "A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit? This emphasis would be lavished in vain, if it served, in your opinion, only to abstract a general type from phenomena whose particularity in our work would remain the essential thing for you, and whose original arrangement could be broken up only artificially."
Noam Chomsky on Jacques Lacan: "An amusing and perfectly self-conscious charalatan".
