[[Lacan]]'s use of the term "[[imaginary]]" as a substantive dates back to [[{{Y}}|1936]].<ref>{{Ec}} p. 81</ref> The term relates to the [[dual relation]] between the [[ego]] and the [[specular image]]. From [[{{Y}}|1953 ]] on, the [[imaginary]] becomes one of the [[order|three orders]] which constitute the [[order|tripartite scheme ]] at the centre center of [[Lacan]]ian [[thought]], being opposed to the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]]. --><!--It took Lacan twenty years to restore the imaginary to its [[full]] [[place]] alongside the real and [[the symbolic]], which he did within the topic of the Borromean [[knot]] (a set of [[three]] interlinked rings that come apart if any one is removed).--><!-- In his 1936 essay "Au-delà du 'principe de réalité"' (Beyond the [[reality ]] [[principle]]), Lacan noted that [[Freud ]] discovered a [[meaning ]] in [[patients]]' complaints that [[other ]] physicians considered imaginary and thus [[illusory]]. In his first [[reading ]] of Freud's [[work]], Lacan emphasized the [[notion ]] of the image by highlighting its function: reflecting the subject's discrete behaviors in [[unified ]] [[images]]. In the [[mirror ]] [[stage]], the subject [[identifies ]] with these images and develops an ego [[concept ]] in relation to [[another]]. -->=====Ego=====The [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is based on the [[formation]] of the [[ego]] in the [[mirror stage]]by [[identification]] with the [[counterpart]] (or [[specular image]]). The [[dual relation]] between the [[ego]] and the [[counterpart]] is characterized by [[alienation]] and [[narcissism]].<!-- The basis of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is based on the [[mirror stage]], in which whereby the [[subjectego]] is constituted by [[identification|identifies]] with its the [[counterpartother|little other]] or [[specular image] and develops an ego concept in relation to another.  Since the The [[ego]] is [[formation|formed ]] by [[identification|identifying]] with the [[counterpart]] or [[specular image]]. Thus, [[identification]] is an important aspect of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]]. The [[ego]] and the [[counterpart]] [[form ]] the prototypical [[dual relation]]ship, and are interchangeable. identification is essential to the structure of the imaginary [[order]] and to the [[development]] of the human ego.</i> The basis of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]] is the [[mirror stage]], in which the [[subject]] [[identification|identifies]] with its [[counterpart]] or [[specular image] and develops an ego concept in relation to another. ((Since the [[ego]] is formed by [[identifying]] with the [[counterpart]] or [[specular image]], [[identification]] is an important aspect of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]]. ))--><!--

The [[dual relation]]ship between the [[ego]] and the [[counterpart]] is fundamentally [[narcissistic]], and [[narcissism]] is another characteristic of the [[imaginary|imaginary order]]. [[Narcissism]] is always accompanied by a certain [[aggressivity]].  =====Image=====
