ABSTRACT
The late Kant developed his proposition in "Religion Within the Limits of Reason Alone" (1793), one might well deduce that he is closer to Voltaire's Candide devoid of Pangloss. Lacan says, ethics, as something closer to a universalizable axiom, the particularity of each person's unconscious desire. Alenka Zupancic argues that Kant should have been concerned with the Sadian body, not the sublime body or the soul. Jacques-Alain Miller's idea is that one is one's own jouissance as a body effect whose traces mark the unconscious. The Freudian das Ding is constructed at the unconscious level where one has no mastery over the system of directions and investments that regulate his behavior in depth. In Lacan's teaching, the only case in which the ego and the other can actually be the same, is the case of psychosis wherein the social fails to operate. Lacan developed a model in to elaborate his theory of a logic of alienation and separation.
