Noam Chomsky calls Jacques Lacan a ‘Charlatan’

"For Lacan, the truly talented politician isn’t the one who knows how to whip up the crowd and ignites their semi-conscious childlike dreams of perfection.

It’s the one who dares to be an adult: someone who has the skill to persuade people of the disappointing nature of reality,

and the tact to do so without provoking unbearable rage and tantrums."

"Why did Noam Chomsky call Jacques Lacan, who was a very influential psychoanalyst, a "charlatan", given that Lacan even used numerous areas of mathematics (such as topology and number theory) in his work?"
