EROTICISM AND PERVERSION:

A DIALOGUE BETWEEN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND PHILOSOPHY

Abstract

The present article is a tentative of approximation and comprehension to the eroticism as an inherent part of human nature, paying particular attention to its most extreme form: perversion. In order to accomplish that, we resorted to the psychoanalytic reflection of writings from important philosophers, since eroticism extends itself to the whole human reality and, as such, we will find more answers (and new questions) in the conjunction between several fields of knowledge. Hence, it is a study about erotism via the dialogue between psychoanalysis and philosophy.
