Often overlooked, the importance given by Lacan to the work of Frege is quite more considerable. Cited by the analyst since the 1950s, the importance of this work will grow as much as Lacanian learning evolves. This privilege is not only due to the increasing sophistication of the Lacan’s thinking, but especially to the effort to determine a very specific question: how to isolate the relationship that exists between the differential structure of meaning and the pulsional economy? This problem finds its most explicit formulation in the development of One Lacanian concept, which is made precisely through a constant dialogue with the Fregean logicism.
