Abstract

FURTADO, Dimas Barreira. Antigone and the psychoanalytical ethic: notes about the Seminar 7. Reverso [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.65, pp. 31-37. ISSN 0102-7395.

Jacques Lacan treads a long pathway along its seminar, the Ethics of Psychoanalysis. He goes from the pulse of death, to the functional utility of the good and the beauty, up to Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone. Lacan puts forward his own views of the ethics of psychoanalysis, distinguishing from Kant’s proposals and making Antigone’s unique figure as reference. The quest for one’s own desires does constitute a representation of the ethics of psychoanalysis. That is, not wavering from her desires. The ethics of psychoanalysis does not lean over easy promises of happiness, but only with the quest for one’s own desires.

Keywords : Anguish; Antigone; Helplessness; Desire; Ethics of psychoanalysis; Pulse of death.
