==Sigmund Freud==The term "[[superego]]" does not appear until quite late in [[Freud]]'s [[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|work]], [[being ]] first introduced in ''[[The Ego and the Id]]'' (1923).
It was in this [[work ]] that [[Freud]] introduced his so-called "[[structural model]]", in which the [[psyche ]] is [[divided ]] into [[three ]] [[agencies]]: the [[ego]], the [[id ]] and the [[superego]].
However, the [[concept ]] of a [[moral agency ]] which judges and censures the [[ego ]] can be found in [[Freud]]'s [[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|work ]] long before he locates these funcitons functions in the [[superego]], such as in his concept of [[censorship]].
--==Jacques Lacan==[[Lacan]]'s first [[discussion]] of the [[superego]] comes in his articule on the [[family]].
Lacan's first discussion of In this work he distinguishes clearly between the [[superego comes ]] and the '''[[ego-ideal]]''', [[terms]] which [[Freud]] seems to use interchangeably in her articule on ''[[The Ego and the familyId]]''.
In this work he distinguishes clearly between He argues that the primary function of the [[superego and ]] is to [[repress]] [[desire|sexual desire]] for the [[ego-idealmother]], terms which Freud seems to use interchangeably in ''The Ego and the Id[[resolution]] of the [[Oedipus complex]].
He Following [[Freud]], he argues that the primary function of [[superego]] results from [[Oedipal]] [[identification]] with the superego is [[father]], but he also refers to repress sexual desire for [[Kleinian psychoanalysis|Melanie Klein]]'s [[thesis]] on the mother in the resolution [[maternal]] origins of an archaic [[form]] of the Oedipus complex[[superego]].<ref>{{1938}} p.59-60</ref>
Following Freud, he argues that ===Symbolic Law===When Lacan returns to the subject of the superego results from Oedipal identification with in his 1953-4 [[seminar]]; he locates it in the father[[symbolic|symbolic order]], but he also refers as opposed to Melanie Klein's thesis on the maternal origins of an archaic form [[imaginary|imaginary order]] of the [[ego]]: the [[superego]] is essentially located within the [[symbolic|symbolic plane]] of [[speech]].<ref>{{LS1}} o.1938. p.59-60102</ref>
---The [[superego]] has a close [[relationship]] with the [[Law]], but this relationship is a paradoxical one.
When On the one hand, the [[LacanLaw]] returns to the subject of the superego in his 1953-4 seminar; he locates it in the symbolic order, as opposed to the imaginary order of the ego: the superego such is essentially located within the a [[symbolic plane of speech.<ref>{{S1}} p]] [[structure]] which regualtes [[subjectivity]] and in this [[sense]] prevents disintegration.102</ref>
The On the other hand, the [[law]] of the superego has a close relationship with the Law"[[senseless]], blind [[character]], but this relationship is a paradoxical oneof pure imperativeness and simple tyranny.<ref>{{S1}} p.102</ref>
On <blockquote>Thus "the superego is at one hand, and the Law as such is a symbolic structure which regualtes subjectivity same [[time]] the law and in tis sense prevents disintegrationits [[destruction]]."<ref>{{S1}} p.102</ref></blockquote>
On The superego arises from the misunderstanding of the other hand[[law]], from the law of [[gap]]s in the superego has a "senseless[[symbolic]] [[chain]], blind character, of pure imperativeness and simple tyrannyfills out those [[gap]]s with an [[imaginary]] [[substitute]] that distorts the [[law]].<ref>{{S1E}} p.102143</ref>
Thus ===Philosophy===More specifically, in [[linguistic]] terms, "the superego is at one and the same time the law and its destructionan imperative."<ref>{{S1}} p.102</ref>

---The specific imperative involved is the command "Enjoy!"; the [[superego]] is the [[Other]] insofar as the [[Other]] commands the [[subject]] to [[enjoy]].
More specificallyThe [[superego]] is thus the expression of the [[superego|will-to-enjoy]] (''volonte de jouissance''), in linguistic termswhich is not the [[subject]]'s own will but the will of the [[Other]], who assumes the form of [[Sade]]'s "the superego is an imperativeSupreme Being-in-[[Evil]]."<ref>{{S1Ec}} p.102773</ref>
In 1962The [[superego]] is an "[[obscene]], ferocious [[LacanFigure]] argues that this is none other than "<ref>{{E}} p. 256</ref> which imposes "a senseless, destructive, purely oppressive, almost always anti-legel [[morality]]" on the Kantian categorical imperative[[neurotic]] [[subject]].<ref>{{S1}} p.102</ref>
The specific imperative involved is the command "Enjoy!"; the [[superego ]] is related to the Other insofar as the Other commands [[voice]], and thus to the subject invoking [[drive]] and to enjoy[[sadism/masochism]].
