Judith Miller (philosopher)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judith (Sophie) Miller (née Bataille, later Lacan; born July 3, 1941 in Cagnes-sur-Mer , France ; † December 6, 2017 in Paris , France) was a French philosopher and psychoanalyst .

Life

Judith Sophie Miller was born out of wedlock to the actress Sylvia Bataille (née Maklès) (1908–1993) and the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan . She was given the surname "Bataille" because her mother was still married to Georges Bataille at the time of birth . At that time Lacan was still married to Marie-Louise (née Blondin). After her birth, her father and mother divorced in December 1941. In 1953 their parents married. Lacan later adopted his daughter, she was named Judith Lacan. Lacan's biographer Elisabeth Roudinesco wrote of an intimate relationship between the two.

As a teenager, she became part of Lacan's circle of supporters. She participated in the development and growing influence of his teaching. In 1966, Judith Miller took first place in the agrégation de philosophie , a selection process for an extraordinary professorship in philosophy in France, and in November of the same year she married the psychoanalyst Jacques-Alain Miller .

Michel Foucault won it in 1968 with Alain Badiou and a few others for the philosophy department of the new Paris VIII University in Vincennes near Paris. Judith and Jacques-Alain Miller joined the Gauche Prolétarienne (Proletarian Left) Maoist group shortly after the events of May 1968 . Their subversive radicalism eventually led to their release from Vincennes. Later she taught in a lycée . Together with Jacques-Alain Miller, she edited the Champ Freudien series , published by Éditions du Seuil , which included the official publications of Lacans Seminaires .

She contributed to the philosophy of science with the work Métaphysique de la physique de Galilée , which appeared in Volume 9 of the Cahiers pour l'Analyse in 1968 , applying epistemology to Galileo's 'Physics and Metaphysics'.
