The Splendor of Creation: Kant, Nietzsche, Lacan
\nAlenka Zupan\u010di\u010d 1999 UMBRA<\/p>\n
When, in The Four Fundamental Concepts<\/em>, Lacan returns to the question of the drive, he reformulates the difference between the object and the Thing in terms of the difference between aim<\/strong><\/span> and goal<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Let us suggest an example of this difference, as well as of the difference between instinct and drive: the child\u2019s instinct to suck the nipple in order to be fed becomes the drive<\/strong> when the aim (or the object) of sucking is no longer milk, but the very satisfaction that it finds in sucking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Thus, a child sucking its finger already has some experience of the drive.<\/p>\n The \u201cchange of object\u201d that characterizes the drive, as well as sublimation, is the shift from the object that gives us satisfaction<\/strong> (i.e. the \u201cnatural\u201d object, the object that can satisfy a certain need) to the satisfaction itself as an object<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We are not dealing with substitution, but rather with a \u201cdeviation\u201d or \u201cdetour.\u201d 57<\/p>\n So, contrary to the common belief, sublimation<\/span> <\/strong> does not proceed from some \u201cunnatural,\u201d \u201cdepraved,\u201d or \u201cunacceptable\u201d desire to something more \u201cnatural\u201d (in the sense of being more acceptable), but rather from something perfectly natural (sucking a nipple in order to be fed) to something \u201cunnatural\u201d (sucking a woman\u2019s breast or a penis for the sake of sucking, for the very pleasure of sucking<\/strong>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Splendor of Creation: Kant, Nietzsche, Lacan Alenka Zupan\u010di\u010d 1999 UMBRA When, in The Four Fundamental Concepts, Lacan returns to the question of the drive, he reformulates the difference between the object and the Thing in terms of the difference between aim and goal.
