Love between philosophy and psychoanalysis

We investigate the condition of love as a point of inflection between philosophy and psychoanalysis. Taken in the field of possibilities of relation between philosophy and psychoanalysis, this reference is based on Lacan's thought. The possibility of relation between two distinct ways of thinking is focused on Lacan's thought from his main aphorism "there is not sexual relation". Lacan proposes a supplementing for this relation that does not exist - love. So love appears as one possible supplementing for an "impossible sexual relation" and as a possible field of relation between philosophy and psychoanalysis.
