==Jacques Lacan==
[[Lacan]], however, is strongly opposed to any attempt to construct [[psychoanalysis]] upon a [[biology|biological model]], arguing that the direct application of [[biological]] (or [[nature|ethological]]/[[psychology|psychological]]) [[:category:concepts|concepts]] (such as [[adaptation]]) to [[psychoanalysis]] will inevitably be misleading and will obliterate the essential distinciton distinction between [[nature]] and [[culture]].
Such [[biology|biologizing explanations]] of [[human|human behavior]] ignore, according to [[Lacan]], the primacy of the [[symbolic order]] in [[human]] [[existence]].
When [[Freud]] used [[biology|biological models]], he did so because [[biology]] was at that time a model of [[science|scientific rigour]] in general, and because the [[science|conjectural science]]s had not then achieved the same degree of rigour.
[[Freud]] certainly did not confuse [[psychoanalysis]] with [[biology]] or any other exact [[science]], and when he borrowed [[:category:concepts|concepts]] from [[biology]] (such as the [[:category:concepts|concept]] of the [[drive]]) he reworked them in such a radical way that they become totally new [[:category:concepts|concepts]].
For example, the [[:category:concepts|concept]] of the [[death instinct]] "is not a question of biology."<ref>{{E}} p. 102</ref>
