Abstract

This study aims to discuss the possibility of an ontology in Lacan’s work, based on the status of ethical unconscious presented by him in 1964. We try to establish relationships between the Lacanian concepts of unconscious, ethics and time and, through them, a dialogue with the conception of temporality in Heidegger, in order to demonstrate that the Lacanian unconscious is not only linguistic, but also ontological.
