==Jacques LacanNeed, Demand and Desire==
Around 1958, [[Jacques Lacan]] develops an important distinction between three terms:
* [[need]],
[[Desire]], on the other hand, is a constant force which can never be [[satisfied]], the constant 'pressure' which underlies the [[drives]].
===The Hypothesis of a A Pre-Linguistic Need===
This account presents in [[chronological]] terms what is in fact a question of [[structure]].
The concept of a pre-[[linguistic]] [[need]] is thus merely a hypothesis, and the [[subject]] of this pure [[need]] is a mythical [[subject]]; even the paradigmatic [[need]] of hunger never exists as a pure [[biological]] given, but is marked by the [[structure]] of [[desire]].
Nevertheless, this hypothesis is useful to [[Lacan]] for maintaining his theses about the radical divergence between [[human ]] [[desire ]] and all [[natural]] or [[biological]] categories.
