Mind and Reality: Phenomenological Confluences of Psychoanalysis (Readings in Contemporary Philosophy)

Matei Georgescu

0/5 ( ratings)

This book may be considered an attempt to set a series of guidelines in the
relation between the Subject and the rather infinite territory of Alterity. This
attempt relies heavily on the two foundations of psychoanalysis and
phenomenology, with some anchors in the Zen “ocean.” As tempting as the
metaphor might be in the context, neither psychoanalysis, nor Zen can be
reduced to mental representations, since they are both areas of interference
between two modes of the Subject functioning in an endless perspective: the
mind and the non-mind, the representable and the non-representable.
Nevertheless, a “truth” must be proposed as a tool for the modern
psychology that presently requests it. Necessarily objective and experimentally
verifiable, this truth has to take into serious consideration facts such as NREM
sleep or deep meditation states that are so hard to access in an empirical
study
