This chapter provides a close reading of Lacan's essay ‘Aggressiveness in Psychoanalysis’. In this écrit, Lacan situates aggression as a fundamental force in the emergence of subjectivity and in the formation of the ego in particular. In the process, Lacan challenges the traditional understanding of aggression as a purely destructive or negative force, linking it to Freud's notion of the death drive and his own developing idea of paranoiac knowledge.
