Why "Good Desire" Cannot Survive Divine TransformationExploring Desire's Essential Link to Lack and ProhibitionWelcome to Nick's Nuances, the audio companion to the blog at https://nicksnuances.com/ In this episode, we dive into the article "The Impossible Object," exploring why the concept of only "good desire" persisting after divine transformation is structurally impossible. We draw on Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to understand how desire is fundamentally linked to lack, prohibition, and the impossible object, questioning theological solutions to human incompleteness and suggesting that our richest possibilities emerge from inhabiting our fundamental incompleteness rather than fantasizing about transcending it. Join us as we navigate intricate ideas with a critical eye, expanding your perspective on the complexities that shape our world.
