What is sex? Why did Lacan believe that sexual relations do not exist? How is love related to comedy? And why is comedy a disappearing genre today? In this episode, together with Vadim Kvachev, we discuss the philosophy of Alenka Zupančič, a representative of the Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis and a colleague of Slavoj Žižek, who proposed an original psychoanalytic view of sexuality.
