==Sigmund Freud==
According to [[Freud]], the [[pleasure principle]] is one of the "two principles of [[mental ]] functioning" -- the [[other ]] [[being ]] the [[reality principle]]. The [[pleasure principle]] directs all mental or [[psychical ]] [[activity ]] towards obtaining -- maximizing -- [[pleasure]] and avoiding -- minimizing -- [[pleasure|unpleasure]]. All mental or psychical activity is directed -- by the [[pleasure principle]] -- towards obtaining [[pleasure]] and avoiding [[pleasure|unpleasure]].
===Equilibrium===
[[Unpleasure]] is related to the increase of quantities of [[excitation]]. [[Unpleasure]] results from increased excitation. [[Pleasure]] results from their reduction. The [[pleasure principle]] therefore serves to reduce tension and to [[return ]] the [[psyche]] to a [[state ]] of equilibrium or constancy.
===Beyond the Pleasure Principle===
[[Freud]] suggests that there is something "[[beyond the pleasure principle]]" -- namely the [[death drive]]s -- which attempt to reduce [[psychic ]] tension to zero, and thus to return [[living ]] beings to an inorganic state.
==Jacques Lacan==
For [[Lacan]] the [[pleasure principle]] is an obstacle to ''[[jouissance]]' that takes the [[subject]] to that extreme point where the [[erotic]] borders upon [[death]] and where [[subjectivity]] risks extinction. The [[pleasure principle]] is closely linked -- closely related -- to the [[prohibition]] of [[incest]], the [[symbolic law]] and the regulation of [[desire]]. The [[pleasure principle]] is "that which regulates the distance between the subject and ''[[das Ding]]''. In [[Chronology|1960]], [[Lacan]] develops an important opposition between [[pleasure]] and ''[[jouissance]]''. ''[[Jouissance]]'' is an excessive quantity of excitation which the [[pleasure principle]] tries to prevent. The [[pleasure principle]] is a commandment -- which can be phrased -- "[[Enjoy]] as little as possible."''
