Discourse Ontology
Description
This book is informed by the terminology, insights, concepts, hypotheses, and conclusions of both thinkers. It discusses time and the body in jouissance; the emergence of the divided subject and signifierness; truth, agency and the event; and being and mathematical formalisation. Tombras describes the ontological recursive construction of a shared ontic world and discusses the limits and historicity of this world.

"This novel and ambitious book is the result of decades of commitment to the study of Freud, Heidegger, and Lacan. . This book leaves room for further research at the interface between ontology and psychoanalysis and between Heidegger and Lacan." (Andrew Hodgkiss, Theory & Psychology, Vol. 32 (3), 2022)More details
