SOURIGUES, Santiago  and  MUNOZ, Pablo D.. Determination and angst in the constitution of the subject: From Kierkegaard to Lacan. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.181-188. ISSN 1851-1686.

In this article, we focus on the study of the three schemes of the division built by Lacan throughout his Seminary X (1962-1963), which wean alysein their relation to Kierkegaard’s developments present in The concept of Angst (1844a). In particular, we focus on the notion of qualitative leap; leap without mediation,by the means of which,in the middle of angst, the subject introduces sin and posits thus the spirit. The three main hypothesis which guide us are the following: 1) Kierkegaard’s developments on freedom and angst have an impact on Lacan’s conception of the subject as divided and of desire as desire of the Other; 2) From Lacan’s conception of subject and desire, implicit conceptions of freedom and determination are derived; 3) This way of conceiving subject, desire, freedom and determination presents consequences to the direction of the cure, for it is based on those.

Keywords : Angst; Subject; Freedom; Lacan; Kierkegaard.
