The Pitfall of the Eyesight——Misidentification of Others

As one of the most important philosophers and psychoanalysts, Jacques Lacan deconstructed the central status of self and the wholeness of "I", thus leading psychoanalysis study to a brand-new era. As the foundation of all his later theories, the target of the famous "mirror image theory" is to study the construction of "self"-the phase or period when the self first identifies with the pronoun "I". However, this self-identification, based on the "mirror image", is false and misleading and only results in a life-long mis-identification of the self.
