Synopsis "the ethics of psychoanalysis 1959-1960"

Lacan dedicates this seventh year of his famous seminar to the problematic role of ethics in psychoanalysis. Delving into the psychoanalyst's inevitable involvement with ethical questions and the attraction of transgression, Lacan illuminates Freud's psychoanalytic work and its continued influence. Lacan explores the problem of sublimation, the paradox of jouissance, the essence of tragedy (a reading of Sophocle's Antigone), and the tragic dimension of analytic experience. His exploration leads us to startling insights on the consequence of man's relationship to desire and the conflicting judgments of ethics and analysis.

He is a French Lacanian psychoanalyst, founder of the World Association of Psychoanalysis. He began his training with Jean-Paul Sartre, whom he met at the age of 16. He then entered the École Normale Supérieure in Paris where, in 1964, he met Jacques Lacan. He attended Roland Barthes' seminars at the École pratique des hautes études. He was a disciple of Louis Althusser, along with Jacques Rancière and Ettiene Balibar. Driven by Althusser to study Lacan's complete works, he later formed a close relationship with the psychoanalyst and married his daughter Judith.
