C. Neill 
Lacanian Ethics and the Assumption of Subjectivity 

A readable and advanced introductory-level text focusing on the ethical dimensions and impact of Lacan’s thinking. This book argues that a rethinking of the subject necessitates a rethinking of our relation to law, tradition and morality, as well as our understanding of guilt, responsibility and desire.
