Abstract

Since the 30s, Jacques Lacan worked with kojevean idea that desire is desire of desire: the desire of man is the desire of the Other. But when we read the Seminar VII, The ethics of psychoanalysis, we find a different theory, which gives the desire status of caused − it is das Ding, the Thing that is Cause. This paper attempts to think das Ding, as a precursor of the object a, such as the fundamental concept that will give the letter of lacanian turn in the theory of desire from the Seminar X
