Description
INTRODUCTION: LACAN & NIETZSCHE. In 2006 a Lacanian analyst and professor of philosophy at Buenos Aires contributes a small paper to a collection put together by Slavoj Zizek entitled: Nietzsche, Freud, Lacan (2). A paper in which said analyst-professor Silvia Ons, makes for the reasoned claim that the Lacan-Nietzsche relation remains still at present under-examined: something she finds both "surprising and symptomatic". (3) Surprising because Nietzsche is the philosopher who would be closest to psychoanalysis: a precursor of whom Freud at one point concedes anticipates psychoanalysis in "the many instances" (4). Nietzsche is the philosopher who as Ons puts it once discovers "the symptom in morality" (5): or as I will put it here for further examination, discovers a certain moral idea of the Good to be symptomatic of a 'life' lived in too many ways opposed to life; an idea to be promoted as cure for precisely the problems it is many times source of.
