An Exploration Into Lacan's Psychoanalytical Theory Of Ego

Up to now, domestic academician's research in"ego"concept of Lacan's psychoanalysis is very few from the psychological view. So in this paper take this view as a basic point, after analyzed the production process of ego and generalized the history of ego in Lacan's psychoanalysis, Lacan's ego actually is other.From the ego research historical origins, ego research can back to ancient Greece, ancient Greece the wall in Apollo Temple sculpture the oracle"Human, know yourself", this is regarded as the beginning of ego reflection. From the explanation of Socrates to oracle, to Plato"opposite cognitive cognition", to Aristotle"idea of self as object is never change", the argumentation about ego is never black out. Since Descartes, philosophy from ontology change to epistemological, research in ego problem also from Descartes"My existence due to my thinking"change to Kantian prior main body, from Hegelian"beautifulness ghost"and realization's absolute main body, finally run to Huser's phenomenology Transcendental ego. The research of ego is constantly integrity.From 1879 the first psychology experiment built, the research of ego is never black out. First treat of ego is James, he divided ego into experiential ego and absolute ego. Then psychoanalytic school, behaviorism, humanism, cognitive psychology, postmodernism all take ego as a important problem to research.Lacan's psychoanalysis ego is built up by two important backgrounds, one is Descartes"cogito ergo sum"philosophy, the other is after Freud ego psychology origin in psychoanalytic school. In the background of criticism of"cogito ergo sum"and ego psychology, Lacan study Haeger's host-slave dialectics, read from Saussure structuralism linguistics, mean while recur to psychoanalysis own clinical experience, Lacan in the banner of"regress Freud", he built himself psychoanalysis.Mirror image is the beginning of the whole Lacan's psychoanalysis, and also the beginning of his ego concept. Mirror image epoch is the process of ego composition and essence self identification come into being. It is very useful for people comprehend why kids'conceive & image is very function in kids'self come into being, and also useful to human apprehend acquaintanceship effect human main body & life process have constantly effect. Mirror image epoch can be divided into 3 stages by time: former mirror image, mirror image epoch, post mirror image.Former mirror image is the stage from baby born to 6 months, in this stage, baby just passive accept external stimulus, and begin to have awareness to his body and external world, but this awareness just about baby body's fantasy & fragment, because he haven't have the ability of integrate himself and the external world. When baby grow about 6-18 months, they come into mirror image stage, this stage is very important to the development of baby, important to ego development too, the ego concept which Lacan built, just from the mirror image stage which he watched baby grow process. In mirror image stage, baby see integrate himself image in the mirror for the first time, use this image baby begin get external world identification, get former visional bitty into a integrate body, and then get a kind of body identification, make ego establish. When mirror image stage is over, baby comes into post image stage. Lacan consider over of the mirror image stage is not a bad thing, but a good thing, just because the over of mirror image stage, baby gradually grown up, and baby is capable of"a sort of wane game"get autologous body and experience of mirror image stage into a hole body, come into being autologous unification and proper indeed ego.From the analyze of mirror image stage we can know, ego as the product of identify baby and image in mirror, it has the imagination of regard visional mirror image as actual entity, this imagination have one of"mistake"character, Lacan call it ego's"méconnaissance"ability, it represent essential characteristic, and accompany baby lifetime. At the same time, Lacan consider, when one put up such"méconnaissance", not represent he doesn't know this fact, but he doesn't want to accept or disallow this fact.As effect by Haegel's host-slave dialectic, Lacan consider, in the mirror image stage, when baby identify image in the mirror, he already regard the other one in the mirror as ego, other words, ego is born from other, ego is a image of other, the exist of ego depend on other.Lacan differentiate psychoanalysis to be main body and ego, he considers the two different and dissymmetry, ego wrought in the mirror image stage, it is just a sort of dissimulator main body. No other than language import, baby is force to come into emblematize sequence consequently identify with other ones, ego is likely to become indeed talking main body. Lacan consider that both dissimilatory main body and real main body is just a sort of orectic form.Lacan's psychoanalysis is ongoing in the banner of"regress Freud", he aim at the problem which have no answer in Freud's work, he bring forward himself solution, in this basement he surpassed Freud, he found a sort of psychoanalysis different from America and Hesperian, adapt to modem France society. Hence forth Foucault, Deleuze tag on Lacan get France psychoanalysis to a higher stage.
