{{Top}}[[Lacanbesoin]] develops an important distinction between three terms: [[need]], [[demand]] and [[desire]].{{Bottom}}
==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.
=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==||
