lacan, the unappreciated botanist of the garden of the rich ladies... ________________________________________ From: lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [lit-ideas-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Eric Yost [mr.eric.yost@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 17 December 2012 23:09 To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: 90 minutes -- when desire is wholly directed toward violence itself T: And is not, then, the abnegation of this logic precisely a complement to Lacan's ethic of psychoanalysis and of our duty to follow our desire? Lacan bows to Freud who bows to Nietzsche who bows to Emerson. Emerson quotes a Latin phrase in his essay, "Compensation": Res nolunt diu male administrari (things refuse to be mismanaged long). Anyone know a citation for this? Sounds like Cicero in one of his late essays.
