Only hysteria produces new knowledge (in contrast to University discourse)



This is why Hegel is “the most sublime of all hysterics”: one should bear in mind that for Lacan, only hysteria produces new knowledge (in contrast to University

discourse, which simply reproduces it).

 

the ultimate ontological questions concerning reality

(Does our universe have a limit in space and time? Is it caught in

determinism, or is there a place for genuine contingency in it?) are today

questions addressed by quantum cosmology; the ultimate

anthropological questions (Are we free, i.e., do we have free will? etc.) are

addressed by evolutionary brain science; even theology is allotted its

place within brain science (which aims at translating spiritual and

mystical experiences into neuronal processes). At most, what remains of

philosophy are epistemological reflections on the process of scientific

discoveries.
