Real
,→Three Orders
==Three Orders==
In [[Lacanian psychoanalysis]], one of the three orders that structure human existence, the others being the [[iamginaryimaginary]] and the [[symbolic]].
The real, a category established by Jacques Lacan, can only be understood in connection with the categories of the symbolic and the imaginary.
The Real works in tension with the imaginary order and the symbolic order.
In 1953, in a lecture called "Le symbolique, l'imaginaire et le réel" (The symbolic, the imaginary, and the real; 1982), Lacan introduced the real as connected with the imaginary and the symbolic.
