It clarifies the way Lacan renews or transforms the psychoanalytic field, through his diversion of Saussure's theory of the sign, his radicalization of Freud's fundamental concepts, and his subversion of dominant philosophical values. The authors argue, however, that Lacan's discourse is marked by a deep ambiguity: while he invents a new \"language,\" he nonetheless maintains the traditional metaphysical motifs of systemacity, foundation, and truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Luc Nancy and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe\u003c\/b\u003e are Professors of Philosophy at the University of Strasbourg, France.
