Sigmund Freud
For Freud the term "negation" meant both logical negation and the action of denial.[1]
Jacques Lacan
Lacan takes up Freud's concept of negation in his seminar of 1953-4 and in his seminar of 1955-6.
Benjahung
Lacan argues that negation is a neurotic process that can only occur after a fundamental act of affirmation called Bejahung.
Foreclosure
Negation must be distinguished from foreclosure which is a kind of primitive negation prior to any possible Verneinung, a refusal of Bejahung itself.[2]
