In his Seminar VII, The Ethics of Psychoanalysis, Lacan is reconsidering the Western ethical tradition with regard to the Freudian cut. Its radical newness consists in his drive doctrine (Trieblehre) situating the death drive in the very centre of the unconscious and as the main reference point of the psychoanalytic practice and theory.

Dr André Michels is a psychiatrist and a psychoanalyst in Paris and Luxembourg; member of Espace analytique (Paris), Après-coup (New York), Psychoanalytisches Kolleg (Berlin); author of numerous articles; editor of Actualité de l’hystérie (2001), Les limites du corps, le corps comme limite (2005), Norm, Normalität, Gesetz (2012).
