{{Top}}[[Lacanbesoin]] develops an important distinction between three terms: [[need]], [[demand]] and [[desire]].{{Bottom}}
In the context of this =Jacques Lacan=Around 1958, [[Lacan]] develops an important [[distinction, 'need' (''besoin'') comes close to what ]] between [[three]] [[Freudterms]] referred to as : * [[instinctneed]] (', * 'Instinkt''); that is, a purely [[biology|biologicaldemand]] concept opposed to the realm of the ''' and * '''[[drivedesire]] (''Trieb'').
The ==Need==In the context of this distinction, "[[childneed]], in order " comes close to satisfy his or her what [[needFreud]]s, must articulate his or her referred to as "'''[[needinstinct]]s in '''" (''[[languageInstinkt]]''); in other wordsthat is, the a purely '''''[[childbiological]] must articulate his or her ''''' [[needconcept]] opposed to the realm of the '''[[drive]]s in a ''' (''[[demandTrieb]]'').
==Demand==[[Lacan]] bases this distinction on the fact that in [[order]] to [[desire|satisfy]] his [[needs]] the [[infant]] must articulate [[them]] in '''[[language]]'''; in other [[words]], the [[infant]] must articulate his [[needs]] in a "'''[[demand]]'''". However, in doing so, something else is introduced which causes a '''[[split]]''' between [[need]] and '''[[demand]]'''; this is the fact that every '''[[demand]] ''' is not only an articulation of [[need]] but also an (unconditional) '''[[demand]]''' for '''[[love]]'''. Now, although the [[other]] to whom the [[demand]] is addressed (in the first [[instance]], the [[mother]]) can and may supply the [[object]] which [[satisfies]] the [[infant]]'s [[need]], she is never in a [[position]] to answer the [[demand]] for [[love]]unconditionally, because she too is [[division|divided]]. The result of this '''[[split]]''' between [[need]] and '''[[demand]]''' is an [[insatiable]] leftover, which is '''[[desire]]''' itself.
The ==Desire==[[otherNeed]] to whom the is thus an ''intermittent tension'' which arises for purely [[demandorganic]] reasons and which is addressed (the [[motherdischarged]]) can and may supply entirely by the specific [[objectaction]] which corresponding to the [[satisfaction|satisfiesparticular]] the [[childneed]]'s in question. [[needDesire]], she on the other hand, is a ''constant force'' which can never in a position to answer the [[demand]] for be [[lovesatisfied]] unconditionally, because she too is the constant 'pressure' which underlies the [[division|divideddrives]].
The result ==A Pre-Linguistic Need==This account presents in [[chronological]] terms what is in fact a question of [[structure]]. In [[truth]], it is not the [[case]] that there first [[exists]] a [[subject]] of this pure [[need]] which then attempts to articulate that [[need]] in [[splitlanguage]] , since the distinction between pure [[need]] and its articulation in [[demand]] only exists from the [[moment]] of its articulation, by which [[time]] it is [[impossible]] to determine what that pure [[need]] could have been. The concept of a [[linguistics|pre-linguistic]] [[need]] is an insatiable leftoverthus merely a hypothesis, which 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]] itselfand all [[natural]] or [[biological]] [[categories]].
=See Also={{See}}* [[Need]] is thus an intermittent tension which arises for purely organic reasons and which is discharged entirely by the specific action corresponding ot the particular [[needBiology]] in question.* [[Desire]], on the other hand, is a constant force which can never be satisfied, the constant 'pressure' which underlies the [[driveDevelopment]]s.    --It is not the case that there first exists a subject of pur eneed which then attempts to articulate that need in language, since the distinction between pure need and its articulation in demand only exists from the moment of its articulation, by which time it is impossible ot determine what that pure need could have been.The concept of a pre-linguistic need is thus merely a hypothesis, and the subject of this pure need is a mythicla subject. ==See Also==||
