Welcome to Issue 65 of The Letter, Irish Journal for Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
Excerpt from the Editorial:
"I am delighted to have been asked to write the editorial for this special tribute to Bill Richardson S.J.
I wish to thank the contributors each of whom demonstrates a varied and particular reading of Freud and Lacan. I am reminded of Lacan’s comments at the 1960 Colloquium at Bonneval where he stated that it was interesting to note that ‘remarks made at a Colloquium such as this, inviting philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists and psychoanalysts on the basis of their respective expertise, show how they fail to agree on the level of truth of Freud’s texts’.
Nevertheless what unites all these contributors is not only their fondness and admiration for Bill but above all what he transmitted to them and to others through his teaching. He was a dedicated and great teacher. It is known that in his desire to share his knowledge and love of philosophy, especially with the younger generation, he spent many hours listening to Bob Dylan and then lectured on the ontology of Bob Dylan!"
