Seminar 3
of the VPS series “The Ethics in Psychoanalysis”
General
In the fourth year of the VPS series on permanent education, Seminar VII by Jacques Lacan entitled "Ethics in Psychoanalysis" is the working basis.
After Seminar VI "Desire and its Interpretation", Seminar VII is the necessary logical consequence for our further work with Lacan's teaching.
Argument for the 4th continuous VPS seminar on Seminar VII The Ethics in Psychoanalysis by Jacques Lacan
Jacques Lacan formulates the psychoanalytic experience as an ethics of desire, with the relationship of human action to its desire at the center of our analytic reading. Accordingly, in the last session of July 6, 1960, Lacan asserts "that there is only one thing of which one can be guilty (...) and that is to have desisted from one's desire." (1)
After Lacan revealed in Seminar VI Desire and its Interpretation "the great secret of psychoanaly-sis,"(2) that secret which consists in the fact that the Other of the Other does not exist, in Seminar VII the orientation towards the real of analytic experience is the further formulation of what he had begun with in Seminar VI. The ethical dimension is based on the real because there is a path on which the point of its presence is asserted. Lacan now locates satisfaction beyond the symbolic. The jouissance that is formulated in this seminar is introduced by "the thing" that precisely cannot be written in the graph.
This 4th Continuous VPS Seminar on the Ethics of Psychoanalysis will be mediated through NLS teachers Miquel Bassols, Partricia Bosquin-Caroz, Gil Caroz and Avi Rybnicki on three dates (12.03.-13.03., 28.05.-29.05., 25.06.-26.06. 2021) in the presence of students of the Lacanfield Austria - Initiative Vienna.
