→Nature
[[Lacan]] uses the term '[[nature]]' to denote the idea that there is a 'natural order' in [[human]] [[existence]].
This great [[fantasy]] of [[nature]] underlies [[modern]] [[psychology]], which attempts to explain [[human]] [[behavior]] by reference to [[ethological]] categories such as [[instinct]] and [[adaptation]].
[[Lacan]] is highly critical of all such attempts to explain the phenomena in terms of [[nature]].
