LACANIAN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND PSYCHOLOGY OF RELIGION

Hercules Karampatos

Abstract


This is a study, at the core of which lies the investigation, the understanding and the approach of the religious phenomenon through J. Lacan’s psychoanalysis. Lacan's post-structural approach to every subject leaves the whole question of religious sentiment and religious phenomenon lurking and creeping throughout his work, and our aim is to overcome these barriers, which Lacan poses, thus in order to approach, as accurately as possible, the locus of religion in Lacanian psychoanalysis. Lacan places the "Divine" on the level of the symbolic, thus giving us two crucial elements: firstly, the position of God in the human soul, and secondly, the dangers that arise from a possible expulsion from this position.
