TEIXEIRA, Antônio M. R.. Depression or thought's laziness? Reflexions on Lacan's Spinoza. []. , 20, 1, pp.27-41. ISSN 0103-5665.
The author aims to deal with the articulation proposed by Lacan, in Télévision, between the affection of sadness and the notion of moral cowardice, in the sense of an ethical judgment pronounced by psychoanalysis regarding the position of the depressed subject. For this end, the author examines Lacan's lecture of Spinoza's ethics, which recognizes, in the affection of sadness, a lack of logical tension in the act of thinking.
