Lacan begins the twentieth year of his Seminar by weighing theories of the relationship between the desire for love and the attainment of knowledge from such figures as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud. He then leads through mathematics, philosophy, religion, and psychoanalysis to interpret these two basic drives. Perhaps Lacan's most sophisticated work on love, desire, and joissance.
