Thanks much for great pointers and precautions on reading Lacan. Even Rorty finds Lacan, Foucault and friends difficult and he read in French rather than in translations.
I was browsing in the medical school bookstore in Berlin (Humboldt/Charité) looking through the psychiatry section and (not joking) a third of the books were by Lacan. Will try with residual trepidation.
The reading list is already too deep and broad for this mortal. But G. Buzsaki, P. Churchkand, A. Damasio, D. Dennett, M. Donald, J. Hawkins, D. Hofstadter, C. Koch, R. Llinas, M. Minsky, Tommasi, J. Panksepp, Piaget, E. Pöppel … do find good traction for those of us who are neuroscientists interested in levels of compute that lead to language generation by human wetware.
