Interesting day at the conference. The talk was standing room only, so the conference organizers asked that I give a bonus talk later in the day. Lots of great discussions and energy around this central problem to higher ed admin.

Abstract
Paradoxical reports of self-knowledge and self-referential statements are the pathological statements that concern philosophers, but they also appear in the delusional statements of psychopathology studied by psychologists. I argue that these seemingly irrational utterances, or self-deceptive responses to conflicting beliefs, can be understood using the same vocabulary and tools used to explain logical paradox. For example, the pragmatic paradoxes that arise from the first-person utterances that one is dead, absent, asleep, and the like appear in certain delusions of psychopathology. The delusion of negation , expressed by the paradoxical utterances "I am dead," and "I do not exist," is an example of the pragmatic paradoxes. The delusion of negation is the psychopathological equivalent of existential doubt: the major symptom is the denial of one's proper existence. Delusion of negation is the logical consequence of uncurbed skepticism generated from self-doubt. Since the attempt to perceive the self makes the self disappear, we can also hear such delusional utterances as skeptical declarations regarding the potential for self-knowledge. Either self-conscious activity approaches the self as an object in a reflection destroying the identity of self by introducing negation and absence, or the attempt to reach a state of self-conscious awareness creates an infinite regress of reflections never reaching the self as an object. Paradoxes of infinity, which are generated by a self-referential application of a rule or relation, likewise appear in the attempt to know the phenomenon of self-consciousness. Knowing how one knows will plummet one into an infinite regress... Show less

In A Psychoanalyst on the Couch, we find the noted psychoanalyst and Lacan commentator Juan-David Nasio on the analyst’s couch himself. In the interview that makes up this book, he provides insight into his forty-year career as a writer and practitioner, elaborating on Freudian and Lacanian concepts important to his work and reflecting on broad issues related to psychology and culture—as well as personal remembrances. The result is an intimate and wide-ranging look at the man and thinker, both… Show more

In A Psychoanalyst on the Couch, we find the noted psychoanalyst and Lacan commentator Juan-David Nasio on the analyst’s couch himself. In the interview that makes up this book, he provides insight into his forty-year career as a writer and practitioner, elaborating on Freudian and Lacanian concepts important to his work and reflecting on broad issues related to psychology and culture—as well as personal remembrances. The result is an intimate and wide-ranging look at the man and thinker, both an introduction to his work and a deeper look at his approach and outlook.

Juan-David Nasio is a psychoanalyst who lives and works in Paris. He was the first psychoanalyst to be inducted into the prestigious French Legion of Honor.
