* [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] ([[French]]: '''''[[savoir]]''''') -- the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[subject]]'''.
====Symbolic Knowledge====
[[knowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] refers to both the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[subject]]''''s ''relation'' to the '''[[symbolic]] [[order]]''', and also to that ''relation'' itself.
It is the articulation of '''[[signifier]]s''' in the [[subject]]'s [[symbolic|symbolic universe]], the '''[[signifying chain]]''' ([[Image:SS2.gif]]).
===Unconscious as an "=Unknown Knowledge"====
The "'''[[unconscious]]'''" is simply another name for [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] insofar as it is an "[[knowledge|unknown knowledge]]," a [[knowledge]] which the [[subject]] ''does not know it knows''.
====Absolute Knowledge====
The [[end of analysis|aim]] of '''[[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]]''' is the [[progress|progressive reveletion]] of [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] to the [[subject]], for the only means of access to this [[knowledge]] is via a particular form of [[speech]] called '''[[free association]]'''.
However, the [[treatment]] does not aim at a [[dialectic|Hegelian]] "[[knowledge|absolute knowledge]]," because the [[unconscious]] is irreducible; there is an inescapable '''[[split|division]]''' between the '''[[subject]]''' and '''[[knowledge]]'''.
===Aim ''Jouissance''' of Psychoanalytic Treatmentthe Other===[[knowledgeKnowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] is [[knowledge]] of the '''[[truth]]''' about one's '''[[end of analysis|aimunconscious]] of [[treatment|psychoanalytic treatmentdesire]]'''.
===Subject Supposed to Know===
