 "[[knowledge]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[connaissance]]''/''[[savoir]]'') [[Lacan]] distinguishes between two types of [[knowledge]]:* [[imaginary]] [[knowledge]] (''connaissance'') which is the [[knowledge 35-38]] of the [[ego]], 45and * [[symbolic]] [[knowledge]] (''savoir''), 69which is the [[knowledge]] of the [[subject]]. ''Savoir'' is the kind of [[knowledge]] which [[psychoanalytic treatment]] aims at. It is both [[knowledge]] of the [[subject]]'s relation to the [[symbolic]] [[order]], 75and also that relation itself. This [[knowledge]] is the articulation of [[signifier]]s in the [[subject]]'s [[symbolic]] universe, 81, 91, 124, 127, 159, 199 ;the [[signifying chain]] (S2).absolute 126 ;and interpretation 156The [[unconscious]] is simply another name for [[symbolic]] [[knowledge]] insofar as it is an "unknown knowledge, 163-64 ;" a [[knowledge]] which the [[subject]] does not know it knows. and not wanting [[Psychoanalytic treatment]] aims at a progressive revelation of this [[knowledge]] to know 23the [[subject]], 60 ;and transference see supposed subject is based on the premise that theonly menas of access to this [[knowledge]] is via a particular form of knowing;[[speech]] called [[free association]].  and truth 91-92However, 96-97[[psychoanalytic treatment]] does not aim at a [[Hegel]]ian '[[absolute knowledge]], 126, 129, 135, 173-74, 176, 188-89 ' because the [[unconscious]] is irreducible;there is an inescapable division between the [[subject]] and [[knowledge]]. [[Symbolic]] [[knowledge]] is [[knowledge]] of the [[truth]] about one's [[unconscious]] [[desire]]. as [[Knowledge]] in this sense is a symptom form of ''[[jouissance]]'': "[[knowledge]] is the ''[[jouissance]]'' of the analyst’s ignorance 133 ;[[Other]]."<ref>{{S17}} p.13</ref> conscious 24[[Symbolic]] [[knowledge]] does not reside in any particular [[subject]], 95 ;nor in the analyst’s discourse 95-96[[Other]] (which is not a [[subject]] but a locus), 173 ;but is [[intersubjective]]. in However, this does not prevent one supposing that somewhere there is a [[subject]] who possesses this [[symbolic]] [[knowledge]] (the master’s discourse 94 ;[[subject supposed to know]]). ==Connaissance== limit ''Connaissance'' (and its necessary correlate, ''meconnaissance'') is the kind of 133self-34, 137 ;[[knowledge]] that belongs to the [[imaginary]] [[order]]. love It is by misunderstanding and misrecognition (''meconnaissance'') that the [[subject]] comes to the [[imaginary]] [[knowledge]] of 123himself (''me-30 ;connsaissance'') which is constitutive of the [[ego]].<ref>{{E}} p.306</ref>mythical 59 ;neurotic 21The [[ego]] is thus an [[illusory]] kind of self-[[knowledge]] based on a [[fantasy]] of self-22[[mastery]] and [[unity]]. [[Imaginary]] [[knowledge]] is called "[[paranoiac]] [[knowledge]]" by [[Lacan]] because it has the same [[structure]] as [[paranoia]] (both involve a [[delusion]] of [[absolute knowledge]] and [[mastery]]), 25, 34 ;and because one of the analyst 23, 35, 37, 52-53n45, 69, 75-76, 92-93, 125-29, 132-34, 136, 156, 159-61, 164, 204-5 ;preconditions of love 130-40 ;all [[human]] [[knowledge]] is the "paranoiac alienation of the other ego."<ref>{{E}} p.2; Lacan, 1951b: 12 ;</ref> of [[Imaginary]] [[knowledge]] is an obstacle which hinders the pervert 47, 143 ;[[subject]]s access to [[symbolic]] [[knowledge]]. of [[Psychoanalytic treatment]] must therefore continually subvert the Zen[[subject]]'s [[imaginary]]] self-master 163 ;on [[knowledge]] in order to reveal the place of truth 38, 96, 173[[symbolic]] self-74 ;[[knowledge]] which it blocks.
