=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Metaphysical and Philosophical Foundations of Psychoanalytic Theory=====
=====Metaphysics and Philosophy=====
[[Lacan]]'s use of the term "[[being]]" introduces a metaphysical note to his [[discourse]] that distinguishes it from most other [[school]]s of [[psychoanalytic theory]], which refuse to engage with their metaphysical and [[philosophical]] foundations.<ref>{{E}} p.228</ref>
=====Psychoanalytic Treatment=====
=====Loss of Being=====
[[Lacan]] also argues that during the course of the [[treatment]] the [[analyst]] is subjected to a progressive [[being|loss of being]] (''[[being|désêtre]]''), as he is gradually reduced to being a mere [[object]] for the [[analysand]].
=====Martin Heidegger=====
[[Lacan]]'s [[discussion]] of [[being]] is clearly influenced by the [[ideas]] of [[Martin Heidegger]].
=====Symbolic Order=====
[[Being]] belongs to the [[symbolic order]], since it is "the relation to the Other in which being finds its status."<ref>{{E}} p.251</ref>
=====Lack of Being=====
=====Desire for Being=====
This relation, like the [[Other]] itself, is marked by a [[lack]] (''[[lack|manque]]''), and the [[subject]] is constituted by this [[lack]] of [[being]] (''[[lack|manque-à-être]]''), which gives rise to [[desire]], a [[lack|want-to-be]] (''[[lack|manque-à-être]]''); [[desire]] is thus essentially a [[desire]] for [[being]].
=====Being and Existence=====
Whenever [[Lacan]] opposes [[being]] to [[existence]], it is with [[existence]] in the [[real]], which contrasts with the [[symbolic]] function of [[being]]. Something may thus ''be'' without ''[[existence|existing]]'', when it is constructed from [[speech]] but finds no correlate in the [[real]] (e.g. the [[complete]] [[Other]]). Conversely, something may ''[[existence|exist]]'' without ''[[being]]'', such as the "ineffable, stupid existence" of the [[subject]], which cannot be completely reduced to a signifying articulation.<ref>{{E}} p.194</ref>
<!--
==More==
[[Lacan]] coins the neologism '''[[parlêtre]]''' from the [[verbal]] noun ''[[être]]'' ("[[being]]") and the verb ''[[speech|parler]]'' ("[[speech|to speak]]") to emphasize his point that [[being]] is constituted in and through [[language]]. A [[human]] [[being]] is above all a [[parlêtre|speaking being]].
