The present essay reflects on the ethical function of education, from the point of view of psychoanalysis. Initially, it elucidates how Freud works the theme of education in his work, from the beginning in which he hoped for a possible prophylactic role of an education based on psychoanalysis, to a more radical and realistic position that points to ethics on the part of educators. It also discusses the essential role of education as a mechanism for attempting to control drive for life in civilization and how the term "violence" is intertwined with this mechanism, using the contributions of other psychoanalytic authors. Finally he concludes with the discussion of how a path can be traced to an education founded on the ethic of desire, advocated by psychoanalysis. An education that preserves the apprentice's ability, as a subject of desire, to slip into the signifying chain and to exist, without, however, abandoning its civilizing function of presenting the interdiction.Downloads
