Abstract:
This article develops freudians’ answers to the question “What is a father?” starting from Lacan’s observation in Seminar book 11 that Freud finds the regulation of his desire in the myths of the father’s death. It is divided into three parts: Oedipus, the first parricide; Totem, the return of the father as a name: Moses, the father as One saying. Finally, it raises the question of what desire would underlie Lacan’s elaborations on the relationship between the father and the name
