Explaining the Kantian Notion of Respect in Light of Lacan’s Concept of Voice, Eye and Gaze

Philosophers have always looked for the relationship between motivation and moralobligation. For this purpose, Kant proposes a special feeling of respect and offersan interpretation of it that respect is defined as synonymous with morality; At thesame time, this feeling is not of the other feelings and therefore not experimental.Rather, it is similar to the concept of anxiety in Lacan's dissimilarity with empiricalfeeling. The feeling of respect appears when the subject finds himself near the object(the moral law). Besides, in explaining this concept and the object of the moral law,Kant uses expressions such as Voice and Eye, which have a pathological strain(depending on feeling). On the one hand, the voice and Eye direct the moral agent to the moral law, and on the other hand it prevents the unreasonableness and dominance of the superego over the moral law by separating the fat voice from the pure statement. The subject's Eye at the moral law and the Gaze of the moral law at the subject is the closest interpretation to the feeling of respect that shakes the body of every wrongdoer. This is a completely pathological interpretation of morality and a special sense of respect.
