The twin plagues we are currently living, COVID19 and white supremacy, challenge the foundations of the European/U.S./Australian forms of life we have known until now, requiring both a radical ethics and a psychoanalytic linking. Forms of unconsciousness, long known to psychoanalysts, but now seen to bear malignant consequences, require new names. Radical ethics, born from the Nazi time, can help us to locate our responsibility, both for the past and for the future. One form of work on these problems, ethical reading, can help to make our shared unconsciousness conscious, and question our bystander status.
 
OBJECTIVES
  1. Explain what radical ethics means.
  2. Explain how radical ethics confronts white supremacy.
  3. Explain how radical ethics engages with COVID.
