Abstract

This is a study, at the core of which lies the investigation, the understanding and the approach of the religious phenomenon through J. Lacan’s psychoanalysis. Lacan’s post-structural approach to every subject leaves the whole question of religious sentiment and religious phenomenon lurking and creeping throughout his work, and our aim is to overcome these barriers, which Lacan poses, thus in order to approach, as accurately as possible, the locus of religion in Lacanian psychoanalysis. Lacan places the “Divine” on the level of the symbolic, thus giving us two crucial elements: firstly, the position of God in the human soul, and secondly, the dangers that arise from a possible expulsion from this position.

Özet

Bu çalışma, dini olguyu J. Lacan’ın psikanalitik kuramı çerçevesinde incelemeyi, anlamlandırmayı ve bu olguya teorik bir perspektiften yaklaşmayı amaçlamaktadır. Lacan’ın özneye yönelik yapıbozumcu yaklaşımı ile dini duygu ve dini fenomene eserlerinin tamamında örtük bir biçimde yer vermesi dinin konumunu doğrudan açıklamayı güçleştirmektedir. Söz konusu zorluğa rağmen bu çalışmanın amacı, Lacan’ın ortaya koyduğu bu güçlüğü aşarak, Lacanyen psikanaliz bağlamında dinin konumunu mümkün olan en doğru biçimde belirlemeye çalışmaktır. Lacan, “ilahi olan”ı simgesel düzlemde konumlandırmakta ve bu yaklaşımı bize iki temel boyut sunmaktadır: Tanrı’nın insan psişesindeki yeri ve bu yerden dışlanma ihtimalinin doğuracağı tehlikeler
