|| [[German]]: ''[[Bewußtheit]]''
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 [[system ]] of [[consciousness]] raises reappear at each level of [[Freud]]'s theorising."<ref>{{S2}} p.117</ref></blockquote>
===Consciousness and the Ego===
In [[particular]], [[Lacan]] rejects the [[apparent ]] attempts in [[Freud]]'s [[work ]] to link the [[consciousness|consciousness-perception system]] to the [[ego]], unless this link is carefully theorized. If there is a link between the [[ego]] and [[consciousness]], it is in [[terms ]] of a '''[[lure]]'''. The [[illusion]] of a fully [[mirror|self-transparent]] [[consciousness]] is subverted by the [[whole ]] [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment|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>
===Consciousness and Materialism===
===Subject Supposed to Know===
In the 1960s [[Lacan]] rethinks the [[illusion]] of a [[consciousness|self-consciousness]] (''[[consciousness|Selbstbe-wufltsein]]'') fully [[time|present]] to itself in terms of his [[concept ]] of the [[subject supposed to know]].
