* [[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]]).
=====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=====[[Knowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] is the [[end of analysis|aim]] of '''[[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]]'''. [[Knowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] is the [[end of analysis|aim]] of '''[[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]]''', for the only means of access to this [[knowledge]] is via a particular form of [[speech]] called '''[[free association]]'''. The [[end of analysis|aim]] of '''[[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]]''' is the [[progress|progressive reveletion]] of this [[knowledge|knowledge]] to the [[subject]], rather than '''[[treatment|Psychoanalytic treatment]]''' aims toward the ''[[progress|progressive reveletion]]''' of [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] to the [[subject]], rather than toward "'''[[dialectic|absolute knowledge]]'''" because the [[unconscious]] is irreducible; there is an inescapable '''[[split|division]]''' between the '''[[subject]]''' and '''[[knowledge]]'''. '''[[treatment|Psychoanalytic treatment]]''' does not aim toward "'''[[dialectic|absolute knowledge]]'''" but the ''[[progress|progressive reveletion]]''' of this [[knowledge|knowledge]] to the [[subject]], because the [[unconscious]] is irreducible; there is an inescapable '''[[split|division]]''' between the '''[[subject]]''' and '''[[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]]'''.
=====''Jouissance''' of the Other=====
[[Knowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] is [[knowledge]] of the '''[[truth]]''' about one's '''[[unconscious]] [[desire]]'''.
