===Definition===
The term "[[knowledge]]" has two meanings in [[Lacan]]'s [[Jacques Lacan:Bibliography|work]]: . [[Lacan]] distinguishes between two types of [[knowledge]]:
* [[knowledge|imaginary knowledge]] ([[French]]: '''''[[connaissance]]''''') -- the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[ego]]''', and
* [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] ([[French]]: '''''[[savoir]]''''') -- the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[subject]]'''.
