Judith Miller (philosopher)

She was the daughter of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and Sylvia Bataille.

As a Maoist philosophy lecturer at Vincennes in Paris, Miller's radicalism was used as a reason for her philosophy department to be decertified.

[1] This occurred after she handed out course credit to someone she met on a bus, and subsequently publicly declared in a radio interview that the university is a capitalist institution,[2] and that she would do everything she could to make it run as badly as possible.

After this, she was demoted by the French education department to a lycée teacher.

[citation needed] Judith Miller died on 6 December 2017 in Paris, aged 76.
