Abstract

Truth and ideology in capitalism and psychoanalysis. Taking as reference some discussions raised by Alain Badiou and Slavoj Zizek, this article seeks to deal with the issues of truth and ideology in capitalism and how it pertains to psychoanalysis. The current domination of representative capitalist democracy in most of the Western world promotes an ideology that repudiates the truth and the subject to which it corresponds, often times clinically manifesting in depression and anxiety. Psychoanalysis, upon proposing the rescue of truth to the subject, therefore poses itself as an obstacle to the hegemony of capitalism.
