Lacan on the blackboard p12
Question of Mr Quine, The aim (but) of analysis is to un-make the knot? p13 : ‘One could advance that if Freud demonstrates something, it is that sexuality makes a hole, but the human being hasn’t the least idea what this is. A woman presents herself for the man by a symptom; a woman is a symptom for the man. ‘
