Insights on Freudian Drive and Lacanian Perspective
Freud emphasizes the source of drives as being largely physical and related to biology, with an emphasis on the body. LeCans, on the other hand, discusses drives in relation to somatic and organ functions but not necessarily organic. The concept of drives is tied to the way human beings are constructed physically, with various types of drives like oral, scopic, anal, and even evocative drives as per LeCans. The evocative drive, similar to St. Augustine's writings, hints at the inability to shut off certain orifices, symbolizing the persistence and inevitability of certain desires.
