| Summary: | This paper examines the origin of phenomenology, and delineates several of its significant developments and refractions, in order to arrive at a renewed conception of phenomenological theory and practice: a future phenomenology that can, it is argued, articulate productively with certain grounds opened up by psychoanalysis. It is possible for the process in the Ucs [Unconscious] to come to an end, either after the fury has spent itself, or after the object has been abandoned as worthless. (Freud, 1915/1957, p. 257)The history of psychoanalysis is not finished - although it is possible that it may finish sooner than we think. (Castoriadis, 1978/1984, p. 103)Socrates: Does not what you have been saying, if true, amount to this: that there must be a single science which is wholly a science of itself and of other sciences, and that the same is also the science of the absence of science?Charmides: Yes.Socrates: But consider how monstrous this proposition is, my friend!(Plato, 380 BC/1871 (trans.), Charmides, 167c) |
