ABSTRACT
Nobody has to agree with Jacques Lacan in order to agree with him… that Sigmund Freud is a “luminary” irreducible to a medical positivist. Agree with him, too, that we must read Freud on his own terms and remove from his texts both medico-biological glosses and ideological prejudices. It behooves us to see the luminary in the correct light. Lacan puts it simply: Read Freud and get him right (1966a/1977).
