Abstract

The ethics emerged from the psychoanalytical clinic allows to explore social conflicts, with an orientation that implies to contemplate that the responsibility is different for each one. However, the reality of being singular of the subject is difficult to consider. It is a vital reality for the mass, although it is not apparent to them and remains as “lo in-sabido” by the subject itself. This work reminds the reader of the aspects of “libidinales” that originate the desire of justice and explains how the social ties depend in assuming the self “alteridad” and the deficiency. Self is the other of the subject, such as, the self and original way to be. This signifies identity, but at the same time it does not allow any companionship, it introduces a deficiency and the insufficient of the language to arrange all of the existence; the fundamental shortage that affects the other and the subject. The ethical justice was not based in the equal distribution of having, but, in the reason that it admits the “alteridad”, the deficiency and the impossible.
