Jacques-Alain Miller
Psychoanalysis was never satisfied by being “clinic”. It was always linked to the “politics of civilisation” (term by Edgar Morin). In his time, Freud recognised the discontents of civilisation. He demonstrated that the relation of the masses to their leader is tied to a multitude of bijective relations in which one finds the same object of everyone’s convergence. In order to decipher May ’68, Lacan forged the four discourses, whereby psychoanalysis inscribes itself as the other side of the master discourse, and not as its servant as Massimo Recalcati would prefer. It is upon us to make the next step and take our position in the global public debate: we have a lot to say – about political discourses as well as about political persons.
