Example text
Why not say “ideas that sleep furiously” is a metaphor for the unconscious? If you don’t have the referent, you can give a sentence any meaning you like. Where there is grammar there is meaning, because you can give meaning to any grammatical sentence. But if there is no grammar there can be no meaning whatsoever, and then there can be no language. The idea of grammar may have been a Greek invention, but the fact remains that in every utterance there is the distribution of a subject and an attribute, in noun phrases and in verb phrases, and you will find this distribution in all languages, which is why language without grammar means the absence of language.
This means it was the brothers, who were still engulfed in the order of nature, who created the condition that humanized them. That’s why Lacan didn’t accept it, although unlike many anthropologists he didn’t fail to see its significance. Indeed, if the order of law was instituted after the murder of the father, this means that what created law was the very name of the father, since only his name remained after his death. So it was the name that constituted the third. Here we approach Lacan’s theory of psychosis.
This case was an example of the beautiful soul described by Hegel. But then you may ask: If the ego is defined by narcissism, or if there is no reality function, then why aren’t we all psychotics or beautiful souls? The answer is that what is at stake in psychoanalysis is not reality, but truth. Insofar as we perceive with our senses, a psychotic is as well equipped as we. But psychoanalysis is not about sense reality, it’s about truth, which is a very different matter. Moreover, if the ego is an agent of misrecognition, then there must then be someone who knows the truth in order to rectify a relation to it.
