The Lacanian Subject and the Philosophy of Education: Diagnostic with, or without, Therapeutic?

Jacques Lacan’s ethical insights come up when he engages, inter alia, with Aristotelian and Kantian ethics. Tackling Aristotle’s ethics, Lacan complicates how human life would be best lived fulfilled, discussing Kant’s sheds a different light on moral duty. In both cases, emphasizes the role of desire law in subject’s actions. Many Lacanian constitute fertile context for political philosophy education to explore ethic character subject. However, some postmodern philosophers who draw fundamental concepts have theorized “Self–Other” relationship way that ends problematic ontological accommodation evil. this paper, I outline aforementioned highlight following lacuna: much literature educational has utilized theory deal ethics not addressed, head-on, whether subject is ethical, unethical, or none these. Treating as unethical entail can mainly offer “diagnoses”. ethically neutral and, thus, plastic, entails leaves more ample space “therapy”. My aim paper show unanswered questions regarding (un)ethical must tackled if transfers ideas avoid self-contradiction.
