* In his ''Ethics'' Lacan defines the true ethical foundations of psychoanalysis and constructs an ethics for our time, an ethics that would prove to be equal to the tragedy of modern man and to the "discontent of civilization" (Freud). At the roots of the ethics is desire: analysis' only promise is austerenot so much for happiness, it is but for the entrance-into-the-I, ''l'entrée-en-Je''. "I must come to the place where the id was," where the analysand discovers, in its absolute nakedness, the truth of his desire. The end of psychoanalysis entails "the purification affirmation of desire, though not necessarily a blind submission to it in every case." This text functions throughout the years as the background of Lacan's work.
