Florencia Shanahan highlights for us a short text by Lacan in order to be able to identify singularity in neurosis. She reminds us that for Lacan, the pleasure principle functions to temper, buffer stimulation, and it works in the way of “doing bugger all”, “doing as little as possible”. This entails a certain cunning that consists in not laying the accent on the “tricky bit”, that is not called pleasure, but Jouissance. This puts us already in the path of the Singular.
