Jacques Lacan was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who is considered one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century. His work has had a profound impact on the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and linguistics.

Lacan was born in Paris in 1901. He studied medicine and psychiatry at the University of Paris, and he began his psychoanalytic training in 1933. In 1936, he published his first major work, "The Mirror Stage as Formative of the Function of the I."
