"Hegelian friend"...the words do not compute.
Hegel and Kant are wrong about everything. For thinkers so seemingly impeccably logical, each build their respective bulwarks on a false premiss.
Consider Newton. He ushered in the Industrial Revolution and the Scientific Age, yet his "laws" only work perfectly on Earth. In a vacuum, in the large space of Eternity, they fall to pieces.
Relativity changes all the rules because it broke all the boundaries. The world is not a clock, it is a living organism.
From the wiki listing it seems Lacan was big on inter-disciplinary studies (including linguistics) and that's a big plus.
As far as philosophy goes, the last truly important philosopher is Ludwig Wittgenstein who is also very inter-disciplinary. Of course, Albert Einstein is far more important to philosophy, as is Karl Schwarzschild (and the others that came after with quantum mechanics like Bohr and Heisenberg), but they were all physicists.
