Abstract

The paper examines the psychoanalytic (Freud, Lacan) displacement of ontology through its concept of sexuality. It thus turns around two principal questions. 1. What exactly is the psychoanalytic theory of sexuality? Everyone seems to know the answer to this, and the matter seems to be clear enough, yet this is far from being really the case, and the question is well worth asking, and being reconsidered. 2. What (if any) are the implications of the psychoanalytic theory of sexuality for ontology and its contemporary theories? Moreover, what are the possible political implications of this psychoanalytic stance in relation to ontology?
