I thought I would start a thread where folks can share links to digital texts and ebooks. Most valuable would be links to pdf copies of pricey tomes, but also good would be any relevant papers freely available on interwebs. I'll get things rolling— First, if you please, a pair of Lacan-bombs (constant members of my travelling library): Bruce Fink - A Clinical Introduction To Lacanian Psychoanalysis ![]() Bruce Fink has the quite uncanny ability to render Lacanian theory in shocking clarity. In this he is similar to Zizek, despite being less crowd-pleasing. Fink is a godsend for those constantly frustrated by the LACK of real, pure Lacanian theory in the work of Zizek, who seems to mostly be interested in Lacan as a springboard for his own explorations-- not that that's a bad thing. I definitely recommend this as a particularly solid starting point.. a clinical base from which one may better understand the more theoretical abstractions. LINK The Seminar of Jacques Lacan Vol. XI- The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis ![]() Despite its inviting title, this book is not a particularly easy introduction to either Lacan or psychoanalysis; nevertheless it is a great book, perhaps to be approached after the Fink, or at least after some basic Freud. One can spend hours on the first chapter alone, which contains this immensely elegant reductive definition of the unconscious: "...what the unconscious does is to show us the gap through which neurosis recreates harmony with a real—a real that may well not be determined." LINK Some more generally appealing fare: The Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy ![]() Massive reference with OVER 9000 pages of informations, somehow shrunk down to just over 50 MB. LINK The Routledge History of Philosophy ![]() Massive historical overview with OVER 4500 pages of informations.. 10 volumes, from "Beginning to Plato" to "Philosophy of Meaning, Knowledge and Value in the 20th Century." LINK And finally, some Cambridge Companions for Cold Winter Nights: Cambridge Companion to German Idealism LINK Cambridge Companion to Heidegger LINK Cambridge Companion to Hegel LINK Cambridge Companion to Kierkegaard LINK Cambridge Companion to Marx LINK Cambridge Companion to William James LINK Cambridge Companion to Wittgenstein LINK Cambridge Companion to Gadamer LINK Cambridge Companion to Critical Theory LINK And one non-philosophy text, concerning my current literary/intellectual preoccupation, Mr. Ezra Pound: The Ezra Pound Encyclopedia ![]() LINK |
