Abstract

ZILMAN, Juan Manuel. The Man in Psychoanalysis in the Light of Foucault: The Analytic of Finitude in Freud and Lacan. Prax. filos. [online]. 2024, n.58, e20512581.  Epub Jan 16, 2024. ISSN 0120-4688.  https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i58.12581.

This article analyzes the developments that Foucault makes around the analytic of finitude in his book Words and Things to elucidate the conceptual differences with which Freud and Lacan approach the subject of psychoanalysis. It is intended to recognize the power of the Foucaultian critique of the anthropological quadrilateral and review whether or not the theories of Freud and Lacan are within it, seeking to think about the fertility of contemporary directions in psychoanalysis.

Results:

Foucault made it clear that it is necessary to dispense with man in order to rethink human reality. Freud opened the doors of such disappearance, although his epistemological foundations fixed him to biological anthropology. Lacan linguistically returned to Freud to rescue the power of his discovery and formalize a psychoanalysis whose subject is not man. Current orientations of psychoanalysis take pains to forget this last effort.

Keywords : Subject; Finitude; Responsibility; Anthropology; Psychoanalysis.
