Il est devenu banal, aujourd’hui, d’insister sur la mise en question de la morale traditionnelle, surtout en matière de sexualité, et d’y associer le nom de Freud et les concepts de la psychanalyse. Pourtant, la complexité de la réponse freudienne en ce domaine a trop souvent fait place à des simplifications et à des caricatures. Qu’en est-il, dès lors des rapports de la morale et de la psychanalyse? Comment Freud interprète-t-il la moralité humaine, en particulier la conscience morale dans son (...) « archéologie »? Quelle est la morale effective qui se dégage des textes de Freud? Où se situent les virtualités éthiques à l’œuvre au sein même du dialogue analytique? Telles sont les questions auxquelles ce livre s’efforce de répondre, en recourant à une lecture attentive de l’œuvre freudienne, à partir de cette étonnante « psychanalyse de la morale » que représente Totem et Tabou.
