El objeto de la angustia: Husserl, Heidegger, Lacan. Una aproximación desde la fenomenología y el psicoanálisis

the aim of this paper is to elucidate the character of anguish as an objectifying act. anguish considered as a mode of affection referred to an object is a subject of traditional research in psychoanalysis and phenomenology. we intend to demonstrate three hypotheses: a) reading the fifth of husserl's logical investigations (1900-1) reveals that all non-objectifying intentional acts need an objectifying act from which to obtain its reference object; b) anguish as an objectless affection is the result of a common construal of heidegger's statements in what is metaphysic? (1949), while a more careful reading reveals an unnoticed aspect regarding the problem of the object of anguish; c) the husserlian necessity of an object in non-objectifying acts, to which anguish belongs, corresponds with the need of an object highlighted by lacan in the seminar x (1962-3) with regard to the object a.
