Speech or Death? Language As Social Order A Psychoanalytic Study

How is social agreement ever reached, given that the notion of intersubjectivity cannot offer an adequate account?

Using the question of ambiguity in language and interpretation in psychoanalysis, this book explores the alliance of religion and the social as they support the sacred.Safouan, Moustapha is the author of 'Speech or Death?
