THE SCIENTIFIC ROOTS OF LACAN`S STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY

Abstract:

This article investigates the consequences of the adoption of Koyré’s modern science conception, characterized by the mathematisation of the real, in the work of Lacan. One of them is the invention of structural topology, which has its roots in linguistic and mathematics, but reaches beyond their scientific domain. Therefore, the notions of structure, letter and real are appropriated and redefined by Lacan.

Keywords:
science; topology; structure; real
