Abstract :Education draws upon the intersection of several disciplines such as philosophy, politics, economy, sociology, and psychology. As understood by Clarke’s analysis, the matter of education is concomitantly interrelated to Lacanian psychoanalysis. This particular volume offers a critical monograph provoking the audience to ponder the effects of neoliberal policies in the educational sphere through the theory of four discourses publicized by Lacan: the master, the university, the hysteric, and the analyst. Suggesting education policy to be viewed awry, the author thus intends for the audience to notice and remember the presence of an alternative idea to the neoliberal educationalism currently dominant throughout the world.
