Abstract:
This article discusses the problem of the relationship between subject and truth in psychoanalysis from a genealogical perspective. If Lacan reposed the old problem of spirituality in the psychoanalytic tradition, wondering about the subject’s work on himself and the conditions to access the truth, one must question how this modality of truth-telling was historically constituted and from what technologies it is formed. Based on studies of Foucault, we examine the place of sexuality in the enunciation of truth in psychoanalysis and the way the subject’s relationship with himself in that experience can be characterized by a hermeneutic.
