The book presents a transformative perspective on psychoanalytic theory within contemporary French thought, challenging traditional interpretations of the nature/culture distinction. By engaging with prominent figures like Lacan and Foucault, as well as lesser-known thinkers, the author contends that the understanding of subjectivity and the body transcends this binary. He critiques the prevailing discourse that pits biological models against symbolic theories, suggesting that such frameworks have misled the reception of French psychoanalysis.
