The purpose of this paper is to consider how social critiques with reference to
psychoanalysis should be from the perspective of the power of discourse toward the
realization of a society where various people live together with co-happiness and
compassion and harmonize with each other without following blindly. This paper
focuses on the discourses of philosophers having attracted attention for their social
critiques which reference Lacanian psychoanalysis regarding COVID-19. Their
discourses will be analyzed by using examples of mask-wearing and peer pressure,
global capitalism, lifestyles during a pandemic, and so on. They are not necessarily
aware of the effects and influences of their statements. As long as every social critique
is based on a specific perspective, there may be things which are difficult to include in
the field of view. When conducting social critiques, it is necessary to be aware of and
responsible for the outside the description.
