CORREA, Claudete Justino  e  SILVA, Magali Milene. Similarities between the Freudian concept of Superego and the concept of Kant's Categorical Imperative. Analytica [online]. 2015, vol.4, n.6, pp. 53-88. ISSN 2316-5197.

This article aims to describe the Freudian notion of super-ego, checking possible approaches to the Kantian notion of categorical imperative. The Categorical Imperative refers to certain moral laws determined as universal action. The notion of superego was coined by Freud throughout his work, being completed with the characterization of the second topic. The super-ego, heir to the Oedipus complex aims to introduce laws to the Self. These laws should stand as impossible mandate, towards which remains to the subject in neurosis the sense of guilt. So we can bring to the Categorical Imperative, as this, due to presenting itself as a universal guideline for action, which is only valid because universal, also happens to be with an impossible moral requirement.
