The Lacanian post-modern, post-structuralist project strikes me as very Nietzschian in the end, to the extent that they wish to re-cover the mysteries of life as an antidote to modern day nihilism and exploitation. However, i’m not so sure that Nietzsche’s solutions are either 1) viable (can we truly re-invent god after his death?) or 2) all that useful (does it not perpetuate nihilism to try to draw the covers back over the world – to re-submerge it in a medieval obscurity?).
