| dc.description.abstract | In order to deal with the relation of psychoanalysis to modernity and
individualism, in order to explore the possibility of using Lacan’s teaching
that leads to existence and the body in the discussion of contemporary political
questions, we begin with a debate about the community proposed by Political
Philosophy, with which we question the “being-in-common” and the “nothingin-common”. Then we find Lacan and the thesis that “the unconscious is politics”. With it, we begin to use the Master’s Speech to think the One, the
Significant Master in the position of agent of the social bond. From there,
the contemporary master shows us the domination of economic issues, not just
political ones. In short, a formulation coming from Sociology, characterizing
as singleness the modernity of the eighteenth century and as uniqueness the
modernity of the nineteenth century, will give us passage to articulate the
Lacanian thesis, “the unconscious is politics”, to the existence and the body. | |
