The essay includes five previously unpublished letters from Jacques Lacan to Alexandre Kojève dated 1935. It reflects on what the letters tell us not only about psychoanalysis and the existence of an “early Lacan” but also and especially about the direction of philosophy and psychology and the structure of research in the human sciences in France during this period.
