==Jacques Lacan=====Sigmund Freud===In the so-called '"[[topographical model']]", [[Freud]] isolates [[consciousness ]] as one of the parts of the [[psyche]], along with the [[unconscious]] and the [[preconscious]]. [[Lacan]] finds [[Freud]]'s remarks on [[consciousness]] far weaker than his formulations on the [[unconscious]].
<blockquote>"While he [Freud] can give a coherent, balanced account of the majority of [[other]] parts of the [[psychic]] [[apparatus]], when it's a question of consciousness, he always encounters mutually contradictory [[conditions]]."<ref>{{S2}} p.117</ref></blockquote> According to [[Lacan]], [[Freud]]'s problems with discussing [[consciousness]] [[return]] again and again to haunt his [[theory]]:
<blockquote>"The difficulties which this [[Lacansystem]] finds of [[consciousness]] raises reappear at each level of [[Freud]]'s remarks on consciousness far weaker than his formulations on the unconscioustheorising."<ref>{{S2}} p.117</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>"While he ===Consciousness and the Ego===In [[particular]], [[Lacan]] rejects the [[apparent]] attempts in [[Freud] can give ]'s [[work]] to link the [[consciousness|consciousness-perception system]] to the [[ego]], unless this link is carefully theorized. If there is a coherent, balanced account of link between the majority of other parts of the psychic apparatus[[ego]] and [[consciousness]], when itis in [[terms]] of a '''[[lure]]'''s . The [[illusion]] of a question of fully [[mirror|self-transparent]] [[consciousness, he always encounters mutually contradictory conditions."<ref>{{S2}} p]] is subverted by the [[whole]] [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment|experience]] (see ''[[cogito]]'').117</ref></blockquote>
<blockquote>"[[Consciousness]] in [[man]] is by [[essence]] a polar tension between an [[ego]] [[alienated]] from the [[subject]] and a [[perception]] which fundamentally escapes it, a pure ''percipi''."<ref>{{S2}} p. 177</ref></blockquote>
According to ===Consciousness and Materialism===In 1954 [[Lacan]] gives "a [[materialist]] definition of the phenomenon of [[consciousness]]."<ref>{{S2}} p.40-52</ref> However, Freud's problems [[materialism|matter]] is not to be confused with discussing [[nature]]. [[Lacan]] argues that [[consciousness return again ]] does not evolve from the [[natural]] [[order]]. It is radically discontinuous, and again its origin is more akin to [[development|creation]] than to haunt his theory: [[development|evolution]].<ref>{{S7}} p. 213-14; 223</ref>
<blockquote>"The difficulties which this system of consciousness raises reappear at each level of Freud's theorising."<ref>{{S2}} p.117</ref></blockquote> ===Subject Supposed to Know===In particular, Lacan rejects the apparent attempts in Freud's work to link the consciousness-perception system to the 1960s [[egoLacan]], unless this link is carefully theorised.  If there is a link between rethinks the ego and consciousness, it is in terms of a [[lureillusion]]. The illusion of a fully self-transparent consciousness is subverted by the whole psychoanalytic experience (see [[cogito]]).  <blockquote>"Consciousness in man is by essence a polar tension between an ego alienated from the subject and a perception which fundamentally escapes it, a pure percipi."<ref>{{S2}} p.177</ref></blockquote>  In 1954 Lacan gives "a materialist definition of the phenomenon of consciousness."<ref>{{S2}} p.40-52</ref>  However, matter is not to be confused with nature; Lacan argues that consciousness does not evolve from the natural order; it is radically discontinuous, and its origin is more akin to creation than to evolution.<ref>{{S7}} 213-14; 223</ref>  In the 1960s Lacan rethinks the illusion of a |self-consciousness ]] (''[[consciousness|Selbstbe-wufltsein]]'') fully [[time|present ]] to itself in terms of his [[concept ]] of the [[Subject Supposed subject supposed to Knowknow]].
