We are joined by Lacanian scholar Paris Lavidis for a presentation on Lacan's important lesson from Seminar XVI, "Toward a Practice of Logic in Psychoanalysis." In this discussion, Paris leads our study group in analyzing Lacan's understanding of formalization, formalism, science as a discourse and mathematics. We analyze the graph of desire and we discuss wider themes and issues raised in the seminar.

Paris Lavidis is a philosopher and specialist in Lacanian thought and is completing his Ph.D. with Mladen Dolar at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Arts, Department of Philosophy.
