Jacques Marie Émile Lacan was a prominent French psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Lacan significantly influenced philosophy in France. Many consider Jacques Lacan to be the most prominent psychoanalyst after Freud and certainly the most prolific. His works include 27 annual seminars, which are available in 27 separate writings, two books titled “Écrits” and “The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis,” considered some of the most complex texts of the present century, and hundreds of articles.
