Question

A notoriously difficult text by this thinker has been called “the only text that avoids Aristotelianism” by Barbara Cassin, who wrote a book calling this thinker a “sophist.” Cassin and another disciple of this thinker distinguished sense and nonsense from “ab-sense” in a book titled for this thinker’s claim that “there’s no such thing as a sexual relationship.” (10[2])This thinker argued that there are four basic discourses, called “the master,” “the university,” (-5[1])“the analyst,” and “the hysteric,” which he illustrated with one of his schematic “mathemes.” (10[6])He paralleled (10[2])Marx’s concept of surplus value with his concept of “surplus jouissance” (10[1])(“zhwee-SAWNCE”), which he in turn used to define the objet petit (10[1])a (10[1])(“ob-ZHAY puh-TEE AH”). The Sainte-Anne Hospital (10[1])hosted some of this thinker’s yearly seminars. For 10 points, name this French psychoanalyst (10[3])who postulated the mirror (10[1])stage. (10[3])■END■ (10[1])
