The Ethics of Psychoanalysis 2
Lacan says in Seminar VII, Chapter XVII The Function of the Good, that we make reality with pleasure. Thus he puts the whole weight of the question of ethics on practice in a double sense. On the one hand on the ethical dimension of action, thus also on the analytical act, and on the other hand on the creation, the creation ex nihilo. This evening is dedicated to the productions for Seminar VII from different cartels that are working in parallel to the three-part seminar of the VPS in this study year.
The tragedy of Antigone, to which the upcoming part of the VPS will be devoted (chapters XIX-XXI), her pious sacrilege, "reveals the aiming point that defines desire" (p. 298). The fascinating image of Antigone, her attraction feeds on Antigone's act, on her transgression of a limit that Lacan names with the function of the beauty.
