==Affirmation==In his "Reply to Jean Hyppolite's commentary on Freud's ''Negation'' (1954), [[Lacan]] uses describes a primordial [[Freudact]]'s of [[GermanBejahung|affirmation]] term, ''which is logically prior to any [[Bejahungact]]'' ('of [[affirmationnegation]]') to denote this primordial affirmation.<ref>{{EcL}} p"[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Introduction aux commentaire de Jean Hyppolite sur la 'Verneinung' de Freud]]", in {{E}} [1954b] pp. 381-99.387</ref>

Whereas [[negationLacan]] concerns what uses [[Freud]] called the "judgement of 's [[existenceGerman]]term," ''[[Bejahung]]'' denotes something more fundamental, namely the to denote this primordial act of [[symbolization]] itself, the inclusion of something in the [[symbolic|symbolic universeaffirmation]].<ref>{{Ec}} p. 387</ref>

Only after a thing has been ==Existence==Whereas [[symbolizenegation]] concerns what [[Freud]]d (at called the level "judgement of [[existence]]," ''[[Bejahung]]'') can denotes something more fundamental, namely the value primordial [[act]] of [[existencesymbolization]] be attributed to it or not (''itself, the inclusion of something in the [[negationsymbolic|symbolic universe]]'').

[[Lacan]] posits a basic alternative between ''[[Bejahung]]'' and the [[psychotic]] mechanism he later calls '[[foreclosure]]'. ''[[Bejahung]]'' designates a primordial inclusion of something in the [[symbolic]], whereas [[foreclosure]] is a primordial refusal to include something (-- the [[Name-of-the-Father]] -- in the [[symbolic]].<ref>{{S3}} p.82</ref>
