The author presents a discussion about the position of psychoanalysis within the university and its relationship to science. For that he promotes a questioning about the historical links between knowledge and truth in the structure of these speeches, presenting an argument that considers the political role of knowledge and truth in the constitution of the subject in modernity. To demonstrate the economic and political relationship between science and capitalism, in order to substantiate his analysis of the appropriations that these practices and discourses carry on these categories, he articulates propositions from the works of Lacan and Foucault, considering that these historical and genealogical analysis are necessary to deepen the debate on the relationship between psychoanalysis, science and academia.
