Changes

The term 'Only what is integrated in the [[existencesymbolic]]' is employed by [[Lacanorder]] fully "[[exist]] in various ways:s", since "there is no such thing as a prediscursive reality."<ref>{{S20}} p.33</ref>

==Existence ==="Woman Does Not Exist"=====It is in this sense that [[Lacan]] argues that "woman does not exist;"<ref>{{L}} 1973a: 60</ref> the [[symbolic==order]] contains no [[signifier]] for [[femininity]], and hence the [[feminine position]] cannot be fully [[symbolize]]d.

This sense of [[existence]] =====Absence and Presence in the Symbolic==========Differential Relations in the Symbolic=====It is important to be understood note that, in the context of [[Freudsymbolic order]]'s discussion of the 'judgement , "nothing exists except on an assumed foundation of existence', by which the [[existenceabsence]] of an entity is affirmed prior to attributing any quality to . Nothing exists except insofar as itdoes not exist."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 392</ref>

In other words, everything that exists in the [[Lacansymbolic order]] argues that "there is no such thing as a prediscursive reality."<ref>{{S20}} ponly exists by virtue of its difference to everything else.33</ref>

Only what is integrated It was [[Saussure]] who first pointed this out when he argued that in the [[symboliclanguage]] there are no positive terms, only differences.<ref>[[orderSaussure|Saussure, Ferdinand de]] fully . (1916) ''[[existSaussure|Course in General Linguistics]]s'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana.</ref>

==Existence in the Real==In this sense, it is only that which is [[symbolicimpossible]] to [[ordersymbolize]], 'nothing that [[exists except on an assumed foundation ]]: the [[impossible]] [[Thing]] at the heart of the [[absencesubject]].

Nothing exists except insofar as it does not exist<blockquote>"There is in effect something radically unassimilable to the signifier. It's quite simply the subject's singular existence."<ref>{{EcS3}} p.392179</ref></blockquote>

In other words, everything that exists in =====Subject of the Unconscious=====This is the [[symbolicexistence]] of the [[ordersubject]] only exists by virtue of its difference to everything elsethe [[unconscious]], '''S''', which [[Lacan]] describes as an "ineffable, stupid [[existence]]."<ref>{{E}} p. 194</ref>

It was =====Relation to the First Definition=====This second sense of the term [[Saussureexistence]] who first pointed this out when he argued that in is exactly the opposite of [[languageexistence]] there are no positive terms, only differencesin the first sense.<ref>Saussure, 1916</ref>

===== Existence in the real and Being=====In this sense, it is only that which is Whereas [[impossibleexistence]] to in the first sense is synonymous with [[symboliseLacan]] that exists: 's use of the term [[impossiblebeing]] , [[Thingexistence]] at the heart of in the second sense is opposed to [[subjectbeing]].

====='There 'Ex-sistence''=====[[Lacan]] coins the neologism ''[[existence|ex-sistence]]'' to express the idea that the heart of our [[being]] (''Kern unseres Wesen'') is in effect something also radically unassimilable to [[Other]], strange, [[outside]];<ref>{{Ec}} p.11</ref> the signifier[[subject]] is decentered, his center is [[outside]] of himself, he is [[extimacy|ex-centric]].

It's quite simply the subject's singular existence.'<ref>{{S3}} p.179</ref>  This is the [[existence]] of the [[subject]] of the [[unconscious]], S, which [[Lacan]] describes as an 'ineffable, stupid [[existence]].'<ref>{{E}} p.194</ref> This second sense of the term [[existence]] is exactly the opposite of existence in the first sense.  Whereas [[existence]] in the first sense is synonymous with [[Lacan]]'s use of the term [[being]], [[existence]] in the second sense is opposed to being. [[Lacan]] coins the neologism [[ex-sistence]] to express the idea that the heart of our [[being]] (Kern unseres Wesen) is also radically Other, strange, [[outside]] (Ec, l1); the [[subject]] is decentred, his centre is [[outside]] of himself, he is ex-centric. [[Lacan]] also speaks of the '"[[ex-sistence]] (''Entstellung'') of desire in the dream,'"<ref>{{E}} p.264</ref> since the [[dream]] cannot represent [[desire]] except by distorting it.
