ABSTRACT

This paper examines how Lacan approaches the problem of truth at the intersection of philosophy and psychoanalysis while reading and connecting his Seminar 11 and Seminar 14. Lacan explores the path to the truth through the “road of non-reason,” that is, the path of the drive, beyond the aporia of Descartes who tried to reach Being through thought. Accordingly, Lacan reinterprets Freud as a theorist who thoroughly followed the path discovered by Descartes, who hesitated to go to the end. For Lacan, satisfaction by drive is found in the symbolic world as a way to achieve something impossible on the level of natural instincts. This is because the drive uses the Other’s demand (signifier) for its own satisfaction in a way other than symbolic identification (i.e., meaninglessly). The birth of a new subject in the place of Ça as the agent of drive and a new signifier in the place of meaninglessness is the end of analysis and the production of truth. In other words, the truth of psychoanalysis means the subjectivization of the drive and the birth of a new signifier containing jouissance.
