Abstract

ABSTRACT This article reads Letter to D: A Love Story by French philosopher André Gorz from the perspective of the interlacing of Lacanian psychoanalysis and Badiouian philosophy. My main purpose is to show how the love between Gorz and Dorine, as is narrated in Gorz’s letter, amounts to a singular example of love as situated between Lacan and Badiou to the extent that one might name it a Bacanian love. For this, this article explores their exceptional amorous itinerary in a reconstructive way in relation to the categories that are crucial to the problem of love, such as encounter, relation, process, marriage, sexual difference, symptom, power, and death and life. This article concludes by encapsulating the Bacanian ideas of love.
