At the root of the [[ethics]] is [[desire]], but a [[desire]] marked by the "fault". [[Analysis]]' only promise is austere: it is "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 the [[cure]] is then the purification of [[desire]]. [[Lacan]] makes [[three]] statements: one is only guilty of "having given in on one's desire"; "the hero is the one who can be betrayed with impunity"; goods [[exist]], but "there is no [[other]] good than the one that can pay the price of the access to [[desire]]," a [[desire]] that is only valid insofar as it is [[desire]] to [[know]]. [[Lacan]] lauds [[Oedipus]] at Colonus who calls down curses before dying, and he associates him with [[Antigone]], walled up alive, who has not given in at all. Both have rejected the [[right]] to live in [[order]] to enter the "in-between-two-deaths," - ''entre-deux-morts'' - that is immortality.
Yet,in relation to ''[[jouissance]]'', as well as being the object of [[language]], ''[[das Ding]]'' is the [[object of desire]]. It is the [[lost object]] which must be continually looked for, the unforgettable [[Other, the]] [[prohibition|forbidden]] [[object]] of [[incest]]uous [[desire]], the [[mother]]. The [[Thing]] appears to the subject as the Supreme Good, but if the [[subject]] [[transgression|trangresses]] the [[pleasure principle]] and attains it, it is experienced as suffering or/and [[evil]] because the [[subject]] "cannot stand the extreme good that ''[[das Ding]]'' may bring on him." It would seem then fortunately that the [[Thing]] is usually inaccessible.
