ABSTRACT The proposal to reflect on a psychoanalytical ethics for the 21st century arises in a world convulsed by excessive aggressiveness among humans due to their differences, as well as against the environment, situations that were aggravated during the pandemic. As it is possible to establish similarities with dystopian scenarios found in science fiction works, comparisons are made between plots and characters found there with the current moment. Works on dystopia usually represent the most primitive human anxieties happening in the future. Another type of plot stands out, in which the collaborative and integrating aspects are used to overcome catastrophic group adversities. A comparison is made between a human genotypic characteristic pointed out by Freud as that of the primitive horde in opposition to the phenotypic which was incorporated through the civilization process and the need for its continuous improvement. An emphasis is made on the role of the psychoanalytical framework to work with these oscillating human characteristics and how they can constitute our ethics to deal with differences.
