Welcome to No Subject, a free online resource for information related to the fields of psychoanalysis, politics, and philosophy.

The website presents information in a manner that permits what French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan called a "kind of tightening up" that "leave[s] the reader no other way out than the way in."[1]

The purpose of this website is to provide a more accessible "way in," that is, by offering an authoritative and intelligible introduction to the key texts of important thinkers.

The articles are intended to guide the visitor in his or her own interests and to facilitate his or her own studies, and are thus cross-referenced with links to other relevant articles, external websites and reference materials.

No Subject is a community-driven website where visitors come not only to acquire knowledge but also to share their own in a collaborative manner.

Anyone who visits the website is invited to contribute (by adding, removing articles, correcting information, etc.) by simply clicking on the "Edit" tab in the article that one wishes to improve.

Thus, the articles presented here are continually edited and improved over time, often involved in intense discussion, debate and argument.

Visitors should take a few moments to read the tutorial before contributing to this website.
