Philosophical and psychoanalytic reflections on capitalist love

Abstract

The purpose is to show that the philosophical tradition and psychoanalysis conceive of love -Eros- not only different, but diametrically opposed to the loving discourse of capitalism. While capitalism promotes a love based on the ideal of complementarity, founded on the One of Aristophanes and centered on a yoic gain, causing various subjective sufferings -depression, for example- on the part of the disciplines already mentioned, a love is opened that does not allude to complementarity but to difference, Badiou calls it: the Two of the difference.
