==Drive and Instinct=====Sigmund Freud===[[Freud]]'s [[theoryconcept]] of the [[drive]] was revised extensively throughout is central to his career[[theory]] of [[human]] [[sexuality]]; it lies at the heart of his theory of [[sexuality]].
For [[Freud]], the distinctive feature of [[human]] [[sexuality]] -- as opposed to the [[sexual]] [[life]] of other animals -- is that it is not regulated by any [[instinct]] -- a concept which implies a relatively fixed and innate [[relationship]] to an [[object]] -- but by the [[drive]]s -- which differ from [[instinct]]s in that they are extremely variable, and develop in ways which are [[contingent]] on the life [[history]] of the [[subject]].
Whereas [[instinct]] denotes a [[mythical]] [[linguistic|pre-linguistic]] [[need]], the [[drive]] is completely removed from the realm of [[biology]].
====Aim of the Drive====
The [[drive]]s differ from [[biological]] [[need]]s in that they can never be [[satisfied]], and do not aim at an [[object]] but rather circle perpetually round it.
==The Dualism of the Drives=====Sigmund Freud designates a particualrly close attachment between : Life and Death===Throughout the various reformulations of drive and its object as "fixation"-theory in [[Freud]]'s work, one constant feature is a basic [[dualism]].
===Jacques Lacan: Symbolic and Imaginary===[[Lacan]] argues that it is important to retain [[Freud]]'s dualism, and rejects the monism of [[Jung]], who argued that all [[psychic]] forces could be reduced to one single concept of psychic [[energy]].<ref>{{S1}} p.118-----20</ref>
==Drive and Desire==The examples Freud usually gives [[drive]]s are those closely related to [[desire]]; both originate in the field of the [[subject]], as opposed to the [[drive|genital drive]], which (if it [[exists]]) finds its [[form]] on the side of hunger and thirstthe [[Other]].<ref>{{S11}} p.189</ref>
