Abstract

The Real is one of the most interesting and at the same time most „philosophical” among Lacan’s concepts. Even, if it is rather clinical question, there is no doubt that theory of three registers has almost metaphysical consequences. In this paper, author describes history of the concept of the Real in Lacan’s teaching and tries to find an answer to question concerning possibility of lacanian (para-)ontology. It turns out that, what is specific to lacanianins is movement from transcendence to immanence.
