"[[Need]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[besoin]]'')
==Need, Demand and Desire==
Around 1958, [[Lacan]] develops an important distinction between three terms:
* [[need]],
* [[demand]] and
* [[desire]].
===Instinct===
In the context of this distinction, "[[need]]" comes close to what [[Freud]] referred to as "[[instinct]]" (''[[Instinkt]]''); that is, a purely ''[[biological]]'' concept opposed to the realm of the [[drive]] (''[[Trieb]]'').
