Lacan with the Philosophers is a must-read for any philosopher interested in what this singular French psychoanalyst and thinker contributes to reading the great philosophers of our tradition: Plato on love, Pascal on God, Descartes on the cogito, Kant on morality and on the a priori, and Hegel on the absolute master. The analysis takes us in the other direction as well, showing through several key analyses in what ways Lacan put these philosophers to use in the service of psychoanalysis. - Russell Grigg, Philosophy, Deakin University Lacan with the Philosophers is an important book, creating as it does a real dialogue between different traditions, themes, and perspectives in both psychoanalysis and philosophy. Not only will it be useful to scholars in both disciplines and attendant fields, it will also be of interest to clinicians. - Dominique Hecq, Higher Education, Swinburne University of Technology

The strength of the book is the nuanced way in which Ronen engages the text of Lacan and how each chapter is a model itself of the relation she so brilliantly writes about. -- Marcus Pound, Durham University * <em>University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018</em> *
