To that, he adds questions on [[feminine]] <i>[[jouissance]]</i> (is it the place of the Other or of the [[Thing]]?), on the <i>nullibiquité</i>, non-ubiquitousness, of the [[phallus]] that testifies that <i>jouissance</i> is real but cannot be [[symbolized]], on the Phallus as a [[symbol]] that is [[lacking]] or [[outside]] [[system]], and the [[repetition]] of the [[Graphs]] of [[Desire]].<br>
Marx invented [[surplus]]-[[value]], <i>plus-value</i>, and he, Lacan, invented the <i>objet a</i>. He asserts that he is going to [[construct]] the <i>plus-de-[[jouir]]</i> so as to isolate the <i>objet a</i>, he will do so by homology with surplus-value. In the [[matheme]] of [[fantasy]], <img srcfont face="lacansem1b1.gifLACAN" valignsize="bottom" height="11" width="123">S</font>&lt;&gt;<i>a</i>, "the [[being]] of <i>a</i> is the <i>[[plus-de-jouir]]</i>, surplus-<i>jouissance</i>.* At the level of the [[enunciation]], [[perversion]] reveals "surplus-<i>jouissance</i> in its bare [[form]]." The rapport between surplus-<i>jouissance</i> and surplus-value is the function of the <i>objet a</i>. The [[perverse]] has given to God his [[true]] plenitude by giving <i>a</i> back to the Other. Hence, <i>a</i> is in A (the small other is in the [[big Other]]); however, <i>a</i> makes a [[hole]] in A. <i>Jouissance</i> is excluded, the Other is the place where it is known, <i>a</i> is the effect of fall that results from it. So, after going from <i>a</i> to A, one must go from A to <i>a</i>.<br>
"I mainly talk [[about]] a [[dead]] God, maybe in [[order]] to better free myself from my relation to a dead [[Freud]]." Yet, in <i>Le Pari</i>, Pascal raises the question of the [[existence]] of God. The only true question is that of the [[subject]]: Does I [[exist]]? Do I exist? "The [[nothing]] that [[life]] is," which is at stake for Pascal, is the surplus-<i>jouissance</i>. The assumption of the [[loss]] creates the gap, <i>béance</i>, between the [[body]] and its <i>jouissance</i>: such is the effect of the <i>objet a</i>, the lost [[object]], in the field of the Other. For Pascal, the central point is "the infinite nothing"; the only salvation is grace, for God's mercy is bigger than His justice. Grace allows proximity to the desire of the Other in its various forms: "I ask myself what you [[want]]," then "I ask you what you want," which leads to "Thy Will be Done!" However, this [[sentence]] is uttered to a faceless Other. God's will, for not being our will, comes to [[lack]]; then, for lack of God, we are left with the [[Father]] as dead, the Father as a [[name]] (the pivot of [[discourse]]) and as the rapport of <i>jouissance</i> to [[castration]]. "The [[Name-of-the-Father]] is a rift that remains wide open in my discourse, it is only known through an act of [[faith]]: there is no Incarnation in the place of the Other."<br>
