The Lacanian ethics of psychoanalysis and its enigmas
De Neuter, Patrick
The Lacanian ethics of psychoanalysis and its enigmas - 2020.
97
After briefly evoking Freudian ethics, the author considers the essential contributions of Lacanian elaborations in Lacan’s seminar on the Ethics of Psychoanalysis. A Lacanian definition of ethics concerns the question: “What must we do to act in the right way given our human condition?” The author underlines this passage during the year of that seminar, stemming from a critical approach to various ethics, psychoanalytic and other (Aristotelian, Kantian, Sadean, bourgeois, religious, and that of Greek tragedy), toward a prescriptive ethics that can be summarized as “do not give up on your desire.” The author concludes on some questions that this aphorism gives rise to.
