the harshest thing Badiou ever said about Lacan?

April 30, 2011

Lacan is “the norn of his own errancy” (Theory of the Subject, p. 234). (This is the point at which Badiou turns to Heidegger’s critique of onto-theology as a better remedy against the ravages of structuralism than anything done by Lacan.)

I wish there were actually norns we could consult about our fates, grim though such consultations might be.
