The Unconscious and the Drive in Lacan's Essay

"The unconscious is grounded in a topology Lacan tells us the structure of what closes is indeed inscribed in a geometry," he writes. "By formally studying the consequences of the irreducibility of the cut, it could rework some of the most interesting functions between aesthetics and logic." The essay goes on to discuss sexuality as well as retroactivity - but that's not what we're up to here today. We don't have enough time.
