Notes

The episode claims that Sigmund Freud#39;s most important work is /Beyond the Pleasure Principle/, but that you shouldn't start reading Freud with that.

Jacqueline Rose has important commentary on Freud's later works.

Sigmund Freudessentially believed that one is not born a woman

Jacques Lacandidn't "become Lacan" until Seminar XI.

Hegel's idea of the subject is only free when it recognizes itself in absolute otherness.

Lacan's idea of anxiety is a bit like Hegel's idea of freedom.

The hosts do not like Lacan's Ecrits much.

Zizekbelieves that Christianityhas an atheistic core to it.

Sigmund Freud#39;s point regarding the phallus is that it's false from the start, it's not "phallo-centric". Psychoanalysisis an analysis of a phallo-centric society.
