Notes on an ontology in Lacan: a dialogue with Heidegger

This study aims to discuss the possibility of an ontology in Lacan ’ s work, based on the status of ethical unconscious presented by him in 1964. We try to establish relationships between the Lacanian concepts of unconscious, ethics and time and, through them, a dialogue with the conception of temporality in Heidegger, in order to demonstrate that the Lacanian unconscious is not only linguistic, but also ontological.
