ROCHA, Guilherme Massara. The Moses by Freud: between sublime and sublimation. Cogito [online]. 2012, vol.13, pp.68-75. ISSN 1519-9479.

Taking as it's principal motives the article named The Moses by Michelangelo, from S. Freud, this work discusses some aspects of the ethics of psychoanalysis that are related with the psychoanalytical approach from the art experience. The minucious interpretation that Freud sketches from the italian sculptor's work reveals, fondamentally, how Moses becomes capable of converting his anger and ravaging impulses into a civilizatory appeal and into social and sublimatory tendencies. This work tries to demonstrate how important, during Freud's analysis of Michelangelo's work, is the concept of sublimation and how it is connected with some aspects of philosophical and aesthetical theories of the sublime.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; art; ethics; sublime; sublimation.
