J.-A. Miller:Do you not wish to show. all the same, that the alienation of a subject who has received the definition of being born in, constituted by, and ordered in a field that is exterior to him, is to be distinguished radically from the alienation of a consciousness-of-self? In short, are we to understand- Lacan against Hegel?
Lacan:What you have just said is very good, it's exactly the opposite of what Green just said to me- he came up to me, shook my paw, at least morally, and said, 'The death of structuralism, you are the son of Hegel." I don't agree. I think in saying Lacan against Hegel, you are much closer to the truth, though of course it is not at all a philosophical debate.
