==Sigmund Freud==
For [[Freud]] the term "[[negation]]" meant both logical [[negation]] and the action of [[denial]].<ref>[[Freud|Freud, Sigmund]]. "[[Work of Sigmund Freud|Negation]]," 1925." [[SE]] XIX. , 235. 1925.</ref>
==Jacques Lacan==
[[Lacan]] takes up [[Freud]]'s concept of [[negation]] in his [[seminar]] of 1953-4 and in his [[seminar]] of 1955-6.
==''Benjahung''==
[[Lacan]] argues that [[negation]] is a [[neurotic]] process that can only occur after a fundamental [[act]] of affirmation called ''[[Bejahung]]''.
==Foreclosure==[[Negation]] must be distinguished from [[foreclosure]] which is a kind of primitive [[negation]] prior to any possible ''[[Verneinung]]'', a refusal of ''[[Bejahung]]'' itself.<ref>{{S3}} p.46</ref>
