Inspired by Lacan’s essay "Kant avec Sade", the article<br />proposes that Lacan’s refl ections on the ethics of psychoanalysis illustrate<br />the radicalism and limitations of Krarup’s reading of the injunction<br />to love one’s neighbor. After a short presentation of Krarup’s position<br />the article outlines a number of differences and some similarities<br />between this position and Lacan’s position. Against Krarup and with<br />Lacan the article argues that the commandment of neighbor-love is obscure.<br />The last section of the article addresses the question of what it<br />means to be someone’s neighbor. Two viewpoints are contrasted: one<br />that implicitly claims that the basis of neighbor-love is that in the end<br />we are all capable of doing good, and another that claims that the basis<br />of neighbor-love is that we are all strangers to ourselves.</p> ER -
