Lacan's interest for dialectics is not related to Hegelian idealism. What attracts him is the specificity of the Kojèvian reading as it promotes an anthropologization of The Phenomenology of Mind. With this approach, Hegel's absolute idealism becomes a concrete philosophy. Since it was the philosophy that influenced Lacan's theoretical production, the aims of this article are to accomplish its general exhibition and to point out some important moments of the crossing between dialectical anthropogenesis and Lacanian discourse, specially emphasizing three segments: what Lacan takes from Kojève for the construction of his own imaginary theory, in which points he differs from this philosophy and its influence in the transition movement from imaginary to symbolic.Downloads
