This dissertation aims to connect the most significant ethics that persisted throughout our culture to sexuality, here regarded as a human formation that goes beyond biological scope to become the foundation of subjectivity. By regarding man as subject of desire, Freud recognizes him as having a perverted orientation, and comes to the conclusion that, because of his aggressive nature, man tends to, before loving his neighbor, take him as object (also sexual) for his enjoyment. As a thinker of the culture, Freud states that the great human ideals are nothing but reactive formations. They are constructed to avoid aggressiveness, since men understood that together they could tame the forces of nature, in order to guarantee their survival. Lacan, attentive commentator of the ethics that feed and move our culture, emphasizes the importance of Aristotle s Nicomachean Ethics , focused on the ideal of the Supreme Good . This Ethic persisted throughout two thousand years, coming to an end with the decline of the relationship Master/Slave, which cleared the path to two new ethics devoted to the ideal of the common good: the Kantian ethics, in which, for Lacan, the highlight is the Critique of Practical Reason , and the utilitarian approach, which highest moment is Jeremy Bentham s Theory of Fictions . On the turn of the 18th to the 19th century, Sade, Kant s contemporary, following the Libertine movement born with the decadence of French aristocracy, takes the subject of Happiness in Evil to its maximum level. Lacan writes a text in which he compares Kant with Sade, where we can see he makes progress in his theory about the perversions. After examining the ethics, the present dissertation focuses on the study of sexual perversions, using the theoretical framework of Freud and Lacan as foundation. The above-mentioned text by Lacan is used, in this dissertation, as a means to articulate an ethic of the perversion
