Abstract

One of the common criticisms of Kant's moral theory is the excessive attention to reason and its absoluteness in the moral law. In such a way that neglecting other elements involved in the moral judgment, including feelings and emotions, leads to the impossibility and emergence of the sadistic strain of Kant's moral foundations and provides a suitable ground for the emergence of evil. According to this view, evil is considered to be associated with good, and every good will inevitably arises from the will to evil, because what is meant by moral good is an action in accordance with the absolute, regardless of its content. Aligned with the impossibility of the absolute, Sade moves Kant's moral foundations and considers the name of every absolute will to be evil according to the principle of non-contradiction. Therefore, any abominable moral act can be willed according to the moral law according to the inclusion in the maxim, without disturbing the foundations of the absolute.According to Lacan, loyalty to desire and its insatiability is a moral criterion that exists in a spectral form in the ethics of Kant and Sade. If the morality devoid of pathological elements is considered, it will become its opposite, that is, sadie morality, and the morality of desire, instead of moving from one object to another object, will be trapped in the bed of sadie satisfaction, and as a result, in the movement towards pleasure, it will be at the ultimate threshold. The truth remains.
