Big Other (Aphorism 6)
Why Theory - A podcast by Todd McGowan & Ryan Engley
Categories:
In this episode, Ryan and Todd discuss the Lacanian aphorism, "The big Other does not exist." They try to understand what Lacan means with the notion of big Other, contrasting it with symbolic order and ideology. Then they work out the relationship between time and the recognition of the big Other's nonexistence.
