The Ethics of Psychoanalysis 1959-1960

One of the most influential French intellectuals of this century, Lacan is seen here at the height of his powers. 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. 作者简介：雅克·拉康（1901-1981），法国著名思想家，被认为是弗洛伊德以来最重要的精神分析家。主要作品为《文集》、《其他文集》以及二十几本已整理出版及待出版的《研讨班》。拉康以“回到弗洛伊德”为口号，借助结构主义等方法，提出了诸如镜像阶段等理论，在哲学、精神分析、女性主义、政治理论、文化研究、文艺批评等领域均产生了广泛而深远的影响。 译者简介：卢毅，中山大学哲学系（珠海）副教授、硕士生导师，中山大学哲学系（珠海）笛卡尔与法国研究中心负责人。复旦大学-巴黎第一大学联合培养哲学博士，巴黎第八大学访问学者。译有《弗洛伊德爱情心理学文选》（华东师范大学出版社，2017年）、《雅克·拉康研讨班七：精神分析的伦理学》（商务印书馆，2021年）等。
