Appreciation of Descartes' importance to Lacan's reading of Freud is a point of entry into Lacan's seemingly hermetic theoretical system. Lacan's analysis of Descartes' search for ontological certainty draws him, in Freud, to the ontological implications of castration anxiety, disavowal, and splitting of the ego. Lacan's theory both derives from and develops Freud's late work on the narcissistic origins of conflict within the ego.
认识到笛卡尔对于拉康解读弗洛伊德的重要性，是进入拉康看似晦涩难懂的理论体系的一个切入点。拉康对笛卡尔寻求本体论确定性的分析，使他在弗洛伊德那里，关注到阉割焦虑、否认和自我分裂的本体论含义。拉康的理论既源自弗洛伊德关于自我内部冲突的自恋起源的晚期著作，又对其进行了发展。
