At the same time he elaborates an immensely broad synthetic vision in which [[psychoanalysis]] appropriates the findings of [[philosophy]] (notably [[Kojève]] and [[Heidegger]]), the [[structuralism|structural]] [[anthropology]] of [[Lèvi-Strauss]] and the [[linguistics]] of [[Saussure]].
This vision is consistent with the thesis that [[psychoanalysis]] is indeed a "[[talking cure]]", with [[spechspeech]] and [[language]] as its only media, but it also allows [[Lacan]] to devlop a universalist theory of the origins of human subjectivity.
[[Lèvi-Strauss]]'s accounts of the non-conscious structures of kinship and alliance, and of the crucial transition from [[nature]] to [[culture]], allow [[Lacan]] to describe the [[Oedipus complex]] as a structural moment that integrates the [[child]] into a preexisting [[symbolic order]] by obliging it to recognize the [[Name-of-the-Father]] and to abandon its claim to being the sole object of the [[mother]]'s [[desire]] ([[phallus]]).
