TOWARDS a psychoanalytic understanding of responsibility* * Article written through a Fapesp scholarship (grant number 2012/05154-3).

Abstract:

The aim of the article is to help pave the way for an understanding of responsibility within psychoanalysis. We start from a field of recognition amidst fellow human beings who have with the ability to empathize with others according to the maxim Do not do unto others what you would not want done to yourself. To that end, we devised a strategy aimed at: 1) modulating the superego as a political body that internalizes a law, 2) proposing a direction to constitute a theory of responsibility drawn from Jacques Lacan's theory of logical time.

Keywords:
responsibility; logical time; recognition; action.
