If there is a link between the [[ego]] and [[consciousness]], it is in terms of a [[lure]].
The [[illusion]] of a fully [[self-transparent]] [[consciousness]] is subverted by the whole [[psychoanalytic]] experience (see ''[[cogito]]'').
<blockquote>"[[Consciousness]] in [[man]] is by essence a polar tension between an [[ego]] [[alienated]] from the [[subject]] and a perception which fundamentally escapes it, a pure ''percipi''."<ref>{{S2}} p.177</ref></blockquote>
In 1954 [[Lacan]] gives "a [[materialist]] definition of the phenomenon of [[consciousness]]."<ref>{{S2}} p.40-52</ref>
It is radically discontinuous, and its origin is more akin to creation than to evolution.<ref>{{S7}} 213-14; 223</ref>
In the 1960s [[Lacan]] rethinks the [[illusion]] of a self-[[consciousness]] (''[[Selbstbe-wufltsein]]'') fully present to itself in terms of his concept of the [[subject supposed to know]].
