Entre a lei e o desejo: antecedentes à abordagem lacaniana do problema da ética em "Kant com Sade"
Resumo
Kant with Sade represents an important moment of Lacan s theoretical
trajectory and the way he understood the relevance of psychoanalysis as a discipline of
modernity. According to Lacan, Freud promoted the foundation of a pioneer way to
the problem of subjectivity, which, as it included the concept of unconscious,
revolutionized all the approaches to ethics until that moment. It would not be possible,
after Freud, to understand ethics without the imaginary dimension of fantasy. On the
other hand, Kant with Sade is revealed as the symptom of an important impasse at
Lacan s theoretical trajectory, especially concerning the relations among law,
jouissance, and desire. This work intends to indicate the antecedents of the problem of
ethics in Lacan s work that culminates in the production of the article in 1962.
