1. Turia + Kant Meine Lehre
Three lectures, given between June 1967 and April 1968 in the "province", in front of an open audience not only composed of psychoanalysts: not a "home game" therefore, but rather, as Jacques-Alain Miller says, a "suicide mission". Jacques Lacan, more famous than ever since the publication of "Écrits" in late 1966, does not limit himself to explicating his writings, but takes up the fundamental questions that have moved psychoanalysis since Freud: What is the "unconscious," and how can it be known? How is one to conceive of a "subject" of the unconscious? Is there a specific logic of psychoanalysis? Starting from the knowledge he can assume in his listeners, he approaches the questions from different perspectives. This happens in gentle circular movements, but becomes gripping where Lacan is called upon to be the beispi.
2. Turia + Kant Von Krieg zu Krieg
At the age of more than 101, the internationally honoured French philosopher and sociologist Edgar Morin has written this warning. He looks at the current situation in Ukraine in the light of his long experience with wars and conflicts and clearly advises negotiations instead of further bloodshed. "Edgar Morin, one of the most important thinkers of our time, was also a protagonist of the events that have shaped world history, both through his actions and through his thinking. In this small but profound book, he reflects with his unique originality on the trauma of the war that has returned to devastate the heart of Europe with Russia's invasion of Ukraine." Mauro Ceruti "Edgar Morin thinks, writes and speaks as a philosopher, beyond political constraints and ideological pressures, party political obstinacy and passionate impulses. Edgar Morin's book From War to War is therefore in an ancient philosophical tradition concerned with the preservation of the human species and open to a tomorrow not yet realised" Mustapha Saha "Like Romain Rolland in his time, Edgar Morin stands beyond all hatred to think of a future freed from the curse of war. He calls us to act clearly and vigorously for a just and lasting peace in Europe. Therefore, one can only recommend reading this book, which is neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but profoundly realistic" Alain Refalo.
3. Turia + Kant Encore
Commonly known as a seminar on female sexuality, Lacan discusses sexual difference as well as the rupture between reality and the real in modern sciences and its consequences for the understanding of subjectivity, knowledge, pleasure, and the body.
4. Turia + Kant Im Offenen
The first comprehensive presentation of the life and work of Henri Maldiney. Henri Maldiney (1912-2013) is considered one of the most important French phenomenologists of the last century. One reason for the late reception of his work lies in the eclectic, sometimes elusive style of his thinking, which resembles a balancing act between explicit and implicit philosophy. In Maldiney's philosophy, the existential analysis of Heidegger meets a critical perspective on German idealism (Fichte, Schelling, Hegel), psychoanalytic concepts from Szondi, Winnicott, and Lacan, the linguistic theory of Gustave Guillaume, and ultimately also Eastern, Taoist thought. At the center is the idea of the pathic openness of existence, which for Maldiney is inextricably linked to the possibility of going mad. From this, he develops therapeutic approaches. An important voice for psychiatric reform.
5. Turia + Kant Freud und der Todestrieb
In his 1920 essay "Beyond the Pleasure Principle," Freud introduces the fascinating and controversial concept of the death drive, which has since been subjected to a wide range of interpretations and applications. In her text, Alenka Zupancic analyzes the diverse and multifaceted aspects of this concept and explains how Freud's introduction of the death drive deconstructs our conventional understanding of life—and philosophically, vitalism. She also illustrates how the inherent contradictions in Freud's text can be utilized for clarifications and further developments of the concept. Zupancic unfolds the relevance of the term not only for many contemporary discussions within psychoanalysis and philosophy but also in a broader social context.

6. Turia + Kant Atomzertrümmerung
Benjamin spoke in the Passagen-Werk of a method of atomization that is capable of revealing the immense forces of history that are meant to be neutralized in the "Once upon a time" of classical history. Michael G. Levine applies this method to a poem by Paul Celan, "The Syllable Pain," and he demonstrates how the immense forces of history intersect with those of poetry. This results in a multi-voiced yet concentrated meditation on what can be described as timeless in both, beyond humanistic fantasies and aesthetic ideology. Through his immersion in detail, Levine aligns himself with a series of works in which authors like Jean Bollack, Werner Hamacher, Martine Broda, Peter Szondi, and Jacques Derrida have developed a practice of intense, penetrating, and incisive reading of Celan's poetry.

8. Turia + Kant Et cetera
The empty conjunction that we do not understand at all is the most incomprehensible word in the entire language, one that has not been explained by any previous philosophy. And at the beginning stands the "And." "And," you say. What is contained in an "And"? And when I say "one and," does the conjunction "and" become a name? What is contained in a name, in this name? I wonder what a deconstruction can make of such a small and almost insignificant word. A brief afterword by the translator points out the philosophical ambiguity and the value of linguistic conjunctions.
9. Turia + Kant Foucault im Hörsaal
In the lecture hall, European philosophy is always expressed orally and dynamically. Many people made a pilgrimage to Paris between 1970 and 1984, where Michel Foucault delivered thirteen extensive lectures. His audience was astonished by the shifts in themes, texts, and images. Foucault spoke about power relations, penal regimes, and discursive orders; he addressed sexuality, divination, and the question of how to live well. His anecdotes and stories continue to captivate readers in the printed transcriptions of all 150 lecture hours. The essay "Foucault in the Lecture Hall" attempts to trace the oral Foucault and examines the connection of the orally presented development of thought. Why does the figure of Oedipus appear there—and only there? There are many recurring themes in Foucault's lecture, which is explicitly experimental and distinctly different from the nature of his books. Foucault shaped his lectures more like political interventions than lively speeches, addressing his audience as contemporaries with an open horizon of expectations.
10. Turia + Kant Konversion des Blicks
The extensive collection of photographs taken by Pierre Bourdieu during his famous field research in Algeria will be acquired by the Centre Pompidou in 2023. Just before that, we had the opportunity to publish a selection of about 100 examples in book form. This will be presented through a dialogue between the photographs and Bourdieu's corresponding texts. As a tool, method, and means of understanding in scientific work, the camera accompanied Bourdieu every step of the way during his field research. It served him, as he himself emphasized, to visualize his most important theoretical considerations. The sociological perspective on the social world, which is so unique to Pierre Bourdieu's work, finds reflection and illustration in the photographic works presented in this volume.
