| Summary: | This paper explores some of the crucial ontological implications of the
psychoanalytic theory of sexuality in its Freudo-Lacanian orientation. As
irreducible to different sexual practices and contents, the concept of
sexuality obtains conceptual weight that makes it particularly relevant for
philosophical ontological thinking. Starting from the hypothesis that
something about sexuality is constitutively unconscious - that is to say,
existing only in the form of the unconscious - the paper points at the
singular short-circuit of the epistemological and ontological level which is
at work in psychoanalytic theory, and which cannot be neglected in
philosophical examination of the relation between knowledge and being.
