Abstract

PIMENTEL, Leonardo. The assertive force of sexual values. Stylus (Rio J.) [online]. 2017, n.34, pp.103-109. ISSN 1676-157X.

Psychoanalysis has brought significant issues pertaining sexual difference and sexual positions throughout its history. In 1933, Freud comes to the astounding conclusion that it is impossible to give new and thorough meanings to the terms "man" and "woman". And in the 70s, Lacan will further this position by defining them as values, sexual values. This characterization is not obvious, going beyond the meaning of "possibilities", because it is directly linked to Gottlob Frege's idea of truth value. Therefore, the author proposes a discussion about the logic idea of value in comparison to the lacanian idea of sexual value; and to do so, he bases his argument on the concept of semblant.

Keywords : Lacan; Frege; value; sexuality; semblant.
