Dear Friends and Readers,
Slavoj Žižek’s essay, “On a Certain Inconsistency in Lacan’s Work,” will be featured as a special contribution in the debut issue of Philosopher’s Compass.
As a devoted reader of Žižek, I invited him to contribute to the journal to support this new platform for interdisciplinary, free philosophical discourse, and he graciously agreed. On behalf of the editorial team, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to him for his generosity and commitment to liberalizing institutional philosophy.
If you would like the opportunity to be published alongside Žižek in our inaugural issue, we encourage you to submit your work to Philosopher’s Compass. See our Call for Papers for more information.
