description The present text treats the concept of exotopy in Bakhtin and Lacan, explicating the direction and the possible indices for comparison between post-Marxism and Psychoanalysis. The general idea is not to seek a new causative element – the unconscious in place of economics, although this problem cannot be overlooked in view of contemporary debates – but rather to trace the logic of outsidedness of truth and knowledge: the concept of desire in Eastern and Western theory constitutes an immanent (real) outside, which cannot be subsumed into Aufhebung or any higher level of unity. Both Bakhtin (1895–1975) and Lacan (1901–1981), without having met each other, belonging in one and the same generation and facing different conceptual challenges and problems, work in a condition of unique philosophical ‘likelihood’ on the subject of the human being’s ex-centricity – the secret of the human being, its innermost intimacy, is located outside itself.
