Daniel Garner and I today got to discuss a wide range of topics. We discuss the possibility of relating to the Lacanian lack in a positive way that helps lift such a concept out of nihilistic tendencies. We talk about das ding, the other of the other, and its seeming similarities to the Holy Spirit in Christianity. We touch on relational or communal ontology and we talk a bit about understanding Paul and his writings in light of some of these ideas.
