==Jacques Lacan==
The term "[[knowledge]]" has two meanings in [[Lacan]]'s [[Jacques Lacan:Bibliography|work]]:
* [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] ([[French]]: '''''[[savoir]]''''') -- the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[subject]]'''.
[[knowledge|Symbolic knowledge]] refers to both the [[knowledge]] of the '''[[subject]]''''s ''relation'' to the '''[[symbolic]] [[order]]''', and also to that ''relation'' itself.
It is the articulation of '''[[signifier]]s''' in the [[subject]]'s [[symbolic|symbolic universe]], the '''[[signifying chain]]''' ([[Image:SS2.gif]]).
The "'''[[unconscious]]'''" is simply another name for [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] insofar as it is an "[[knowledge|unknown knowledge]]," a [[knowledge]] which the [[subject]] ''does not know it knows''.
====Absolute Knowledge====
'''[[treatment|Psychoanalytic treatment]]''' provides a means of access to [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] via a particular form of [[speech]] called '''[[free association]]'''.
'''[[treatment|Psychoanalytic treatment]]''' involves a means of provides access to [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]], via a particular form of [[speech]] called '''[[free association]]'''.
The [[end of analysis|aim]] of '''[[treatment|psychoanalytic treatment]]''' is the ''[[progress|progressive reveletion]]'' of [[knowledge|symbolic knowledge]] to the [[subject]], rather than "[[knowledge|absolute knowledge]]," because the [[unconscious]] is irreducible; there is an inescapable '''[[split|division]]''' between the '''[[subject]]''' and '''[[knowledge]]'''.
