Changes

[[Lacan]] claims that the idea of [[progress]], like other [[humanist]] [[:category:concepts|concepts]], is alien to his teaching:

These texts allow [[Lacan]] to argue that "Freud was in no way a progressive."<ref>{{S7}} p.183</ref>

[[Lacan]] rejects the idea of [[progress]] because it is based on a linear unidirectional concept of [[time]], and because it implies the possibility of [[synthesis]].

[[Lacan]] rejects other related concepts such as that of a unilinear sequence of [[phase]]s of psychosexual [[development]].

There is one sense, however, in which [[Lacan]] does speak of [[progress]]: the [[progress]] in [[psychoanalytic]] [[treatment]].
