MINHOT, Leticia. Ethics and psychoanalysis: philosophical assumptions shared. []. , 7, 1, pp.126-147. ISSN 1679-432X.

This paper seeks to raise overcoming the opposition morality-science showing philosophical assumptions that they share. All moral value suppose a conception of human being, ie, a philosophical theory underlying all ethics. There is a theoretical level, call it meta-ethical, manifested in an ethic, but also present in scientific ontologies. The speeches retain their peculiarities, but as we focus here is on philosophical assumptions in which both discourse are rooted. Thus, the sharp demarcation between scientific and moral orders fades from the philosophical principles of that leave. In this paper, we will not sustain a psychological or psychoanalytic theory of morality, we will not consider the psychoanalytic theories of morality that have both Freud and Winnicott. We continue considering ethics and psychoanalysis as different speeches, in what we want to deepen, rather, is on the philosophical theories that underlie both the ethical as psychoanalytic theories, which in this case will be the Freud and Winnicott, which share with different ethical certain theoretical assumptions. This brought relations between areas, that in Kant and the dominant epistemological tradition, had been conceived as separate. These philosophical assumptions are also part of the respective disciplinary matrices, are present in their ontological and heuristic models and constitute the point of intersection between the two discourses.
