Seminar VII of Lacan

Sublimation in the Psychoanalysis of Lacan and Freud

http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/books/psychoanalysis/DESIRE_IN_THE_PSYCHOANALYSIS_OF_LACAN.pdf

p.4 "the only thing of which one can be guilty is of having given ground relative to one’s desire"
 
p.4-5 I will show that for Lacan the aim of psychoanalysis, in contradistinction to the bourgeois dream of happiness via the good, -commodities - is to purse ones desires and to accept the tragic consequences of this. The aim of psychoanalysis, it will be shown, is not to make the subject comfortable with the tragic consequences but to realize that all that matters is not giving up on one's desires.
