  • And Badiou concludes masterfully: "If, finally, the common border of psychoanalysis and philosophy is de-liaison, the localization of the void in the non-relatedness of every relation, the subjective category of this relation, you will tolerate my saying that its--unexpected--name is: 'courage'."

  • Badiou, also following Lacan, says, "Philosophy and psychoanalysis have a common border to two procedures that are external to one another: mathematics, on the one hand, and love, on the other. [...] Love undergoes the void of relation, because there is no sexual relationship. Mathematics undergoes it, because it exhausts it [the void] in pure literalization."

  • And yet, I'd submit, it is, truly, what makes the world go 'round. How do I know? What's my evidence? An Other, a set of Others: those who love beyond my determinate being, who I am; those who wager, who believe, who specify beyond my being to something else, something more: to what I may, but perhaps never will, become. But they believe, regardless of that possibility, or possible actuality, or actual possibility. And that, for me, is love.

    And yet, you're the one who's posed the question...

  • In _The Parallax View_, Zizek mobilizes Lacan's definition to indicate the violence and trauma inherent to being loved--that is, of being forced into the structural position of the beloved by the lover's "I love you": "This is why finding oneself in the position of the beloved is so violent, even traumatic: being loved makes me tangibly aware of the gap between what I am as a determinate being and the unfathomable X in me which stimulates love."

  • Lacan's definition of love: "Love is giving something one doesn't have to someone who doesn't want it." (Elsewhere, he adds, paradoxically, "the moment one starts to speak about love, one descends into imbecility.")
