ABSTRACT
Science and Truth represents an important moment in Lacan’s thinking about psychoanalysis and its relationship to the sciences. This commentary focuses on Lacan’s claim that the subject psychoanalysis works with is the subject of science, and how Lacan tries to mark out the distinct nature of psychoanalytic practice by considering how it positions truth and knowledge in a way that is different from how magic, religion, and science do so. The work of Claude Lévi-Strauss is given some attention as well, since Lacan is in a very close dialogue with much of it.
