Freud depicted the regression of the psyche to uniformity, baseness, and cruelty in times of war. In this paper, I will try to offer a Lacanian perspective that may counteract this collapse, with an emphasis on the frameworks of ethics. I will present three ethic systems described by the Israeli philosopher, Avi Sagi, in his essay “Ethics in War”. Articulating their hypothetical developmental underpinnings and interrelations, I will show how they reflect different emphases across the Lacanian orders through which the subject and his world are given and organized: The Symbolic, Imaginary, and the Real. Placing the discussion in the context of the Israeli–Gaza war and its accompanying hostage crisis, I will try to underscore the principle of heterogeneity as essential to all psychoanalytic thought and to ethics in particular.
