Example text
Do its premises rest on unsuspected presuppositions of modern subjectivity in which man seems to have related everything to his own existence? It will be useful, I think, to return now to the issue of the difference between animate and inanimate. It will not be possible here, of course, to discuss all the conceptions that man has forged of himself as a living being; however, it is worth noting the concept of animation which was developed most fully in Aristotle’s treatise On the Soul. Aristotle distinguishes the vegetative soul from the animal soul, assigning the nutritive and sensitive function to each respectively.
Given its “similitude” with the “âme animal”, there is justification for calling it the objet petit-âme. The objet “a”, Lacan says, is unrepresentable and non-specular. This is a definition that enables us to get beyond the difficulty we had of designating the specific mode of relationship that the animal, man, has with himself. That is why, in speaking of the objet “a”, Lacan says: it is that of which we have no idea. The object in question does not exist in the strict sense of the term (it is not an entity or substance).
This effect of pleasure is a bonus, for it does not constitute the sought-after aim, namely satisfaction. Here we are faced with a paradox. The drive movement is triggered with the aim of reducing tension. At the same time, the latter is gradually increased by the repetition of the drive itself. The drive diminishes the tension, resulting in the effect of pleasure; it also increases it, which is why repetition is a factor of tension. This paradox embodies the contradictory nature of the human being, that is to say, ultimately, the intertwining of the life drives and death drives.
