Karl Marx's analysis of the mode of production and Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theories offer profound insights into the workings of society and the human mind. However, both theories have limitations when considered in isolation. Marx effectively demonstrates how the mode of production shapes human consciousness, but he does not delve deeply into the intricacies of psychology. Lacan, on the other hand, provides a detailed understanding of human psychology but does not thoroughly explain how different modes of production influence the mind. This essay explores how combining the theories of Marx and Lacan can offer a more comprehensive model of mind and society, particularly in understanding the role of desire in a capitalist context.
