A Husserlian Interpretation of Lacan's Logical Time: The Epistemology of Unconscious Temporality

Building upon Heidegger's profound conception of time, Lacan ingeniously developed a sociologically grounded framework of 'intersubjectivity'. Notably, the key distinction between Lacanian intersubjectivity and Husserl's concept is stark. Lacanian intersubjectivity lacks the epistemological substance that is inherently present in Husserl's idea. Through a meticulous comparative analysis of Lacan's and Husserl's temporal frameworks, complemented by a detailed phenomenological reconstruction of Lacan's theory of time, this in - depth study thoroughly elucidates the application of Lacanian logical time at the microscopic epistemological scale. The paper strikingly reveals that this temporal mechanism functions independently of intersubjective interactions, vividly demonstrating how the subject attains cognitive mastery over the object by establishing its unique logical time.
