The Passion of Ignorance

<br/><br/> By making ignorance into a passion, Lacan was doing more than renewing the traditional link that tells us that passion is a manifestation of ignorance. With the notion of knowledge “unbeknown,” psychoanalysis changes the status from ignorance and posits it as passion of transference, with love and hate. Ignorance then bears witness to a basic structural fact that links it to the phallic orgasm.
