Abstract

Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan imports concepts from other disciplines to Psychoanalysis. Doing so modifies both; the imported concept and the psychoanalytical praxis. Thus, turning over and transforming the Saussure’s formula into algorithm, or the use of the Descartes’ concepts of doubt and subject, or utilizing letters and formulas as Koyré suggests they work for science, or bringing into play Russell’s logical mathematical principles, exemplify this Lacan’s modality and its effects on psychoanalytical praxis.
