Against Lacanian right wing

Jan Potkański

Abstract

The article constitutes an attempt to reconstruct modern attitudes and political theories in a language of the Lacanian theory of four discourses. Within this reconstruction, exemplary right-wing (Bruce Fink and Pierre Legendre) and left-wing (Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt) models of society and postulates of its transformation are referred to philosophical traditions from which they derive (Hobbes, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Deleuze). Lacanian philosophical inspirations (Kant, Hegel) and Deleuze’s psychoanalytical ones point to the moments common to all three groups of discourses (political, philosophical and psychoanalytical ones), which allows for formulating a synthetic theory of a higher level, covering them all thanks to the reinterpretation of the notions of freedom, community and (self)-education of the subject.
