Reading Lacans Écrits is the first comprehensive collection of commentaries on the complete edition of Lacans Écrits to be published in English. This third volume serves as an indispensable companion to some of Lacans most crucial and notoriously challenging writings, including "Logical Time," "Response to Jean Hyppolite," and "The Function and Field of Speech," "Variations on the Standard Treatment," and "Presentation on Transference."

With the contributions of some of the world's most renowned Lacanian scholars and analysts, such as Bernard Burgoyne, Marc De Kesel, and Russell Grigg, this volume encompasses a series of systematic, paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries that not only contextualize, explain, and interrogate Lacans arguments but also offer the reader multiple interpretive routes through the complete edition of Lacans most labyrinthine of texts.

As there is no existing set of exhaustive commentaries on Lacans Écrits available in English, this volume acts as an essential and incisive reference-text for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in training and in practice, as well as philosophers, cultural theorists, and literary, social science, and humanities researchers. Considering the significance of Écrits as a landmark in the history of psychoanalysis, this far-reaching and accessible guide will sustain and continue to animate critical engagement with one of the most challenging intellectual works of the twentieth century.
