O knihe

The subtitle of Pound's book could have been 'Lacan with Kierkegaard'.
It stages an extraordinary dialogue between the two thinkers,
demonstrating the Kierkegaardian resonances of the key Lacanian
concepts. From now on, we know that the Freudian notion of 'trauma',
its sexual references notwithst anding, belongs to the domain of the divine.
The book is a true event: after reading it, neither Kierkegaard nor Lacan
will remain the same in our theoretical imaginary. You can ignore this
book... if you want to remain a happy idiot." - Slavoj Zizek
"Marcus Pound's first book is the most important sustained reflection on
the relation of Theology and Psychoanalysis to date. His approach is
admirably focussed, since it compares the ideas of the theological founder
of complex motivational psychology - Søren Kierkegaard - with those of
the most sophisticated secular psychoanalytical theorist -Jacques Lacan.
In doing so Pound offers, in a short compass, both a psychological
deepening of theological orthodoxy and a theological critique of
psychoanalysis as such. Future engagement with this area must begin with
this lucid, subtle and brilliant treatise." - John Milbank
"The vitality of Christian theology today, its creativity, its imaginative
and scholarly engagement, are nowhere more evident than in this book.
Pound's presentation of an interface between psychology and doctrine is
as bold as it is original. Kierkegaard meets Lacan, trauma is related to
liturgy and therapy to sacramentalism - all under the aegis of Aquinas!
This is contemporary theology at its best - exploring new terrains and
forging distinctive relations between onetime strangers." - Graham Ward
