==Sigmund Freud==

[[Lacan]] takes up [[Freud]]'s concept of [[negation]] in his [[seminar]] of 1953-4 and in his [[seminar]] of 1955-6.

[[Lacan]] argues that [[negation]] is a [[neurotic]] process that can only occur after a fundamental [[act]] of affirmation called ''[[Bejahung]]''.

[[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>
