[[Lacan]]'s [[discussion ]] of the "the [[Thing]]" constitutes one of the central themes in the [[seminar ]] of 1959-60 (‘’L''[[Seminars|L'éthique de la psychanalyse’’ psychanalyse]]'' – “"[[The Ethics of Psychoanalysis]]”"), where he uses the [[French ]] term ‘’la Chose’’ ''[[Thing|la chose]]'' interchangeably with the [[German ]] term ''[[Thing|das Ding]]''. There are two main contexts in which this term ‘’das Ding’’operates.
[[Lacan]]'s [[concept]] of the [[Thing]] as an unknowable x, beyond [[symbolisation]], has clear affinities with the [[Kant]]ian "thing-[[in-itself]]".
The [[Thing]] is thus presented to the [[subject]] as his Sovereign [[Good]], but if the [[subject]] transgresses the [[pleasure principle]] and attains this Good, it is experienced as [[suffering]]/evil,<ref>[[Lacan]] plays on the [[French]] term ''mal'', which can mean both suffering and [[evil]]; {{S7}} p. 179</ref> because the [[subject]] "cannot stand the extreme good that ''[[Thing|das Ding]]'' may bring to him."<ref>{{S7}} p. 73</ref> It is fortunate, then, that the [[Thing]] is usually inaccessible.<ref>{{S7}} p. 59</ref>
