The Act
,no edit summary
==Behavior==
''[[Act|The Act]]'' is a [[act|human act]], "since to our [[knowledge]] there is no other [[act]] but the [[human]] one.
It is distinct from mere [[act|behavior]].
[[Lacan]] draws a distinction between mere "[[behavior]]" -- which all animals engage in -- and an "[[acts]]" -- which are [[symbolic]] and can only be ascribed to [[human]] [[subjects]].<ref>{{S11}} p.50</ref>
''human act'', if you like, since to our [[knowledge]], there is no other [[act]] but the [[human]] one. Why is an [[act]] not mere behaviour?
