Retrieving to the path of Freud and Lacan around the concepts of subject, drive and enjoyment in their relations with the order of reality, this article presents a discussion on clinical and political consequences of the Freudian discoveries in “Beyond the Pleasure Principle”. It seeks to demonstrate how these psychoanalytic notions, essentially clinical, may constitute a very important intersection between clinical practice and policy through the location of this instinctual, ethical and political drama in a topology of social bond. For this, it is considered the design of the subject in its radical inadequacy in the face of reality or order, be it clinically understood as an order of language, or as a normative, symbolic or imaginary order in the social bond.
Key words: psychoanalysis, ethics, policy.Downloads
