Abstract

LOPARIC, Zeljko. Winnicott and post-metaphysics thought. Psicol. USP [online]. 1995, vol.6, n.2, pp.39-61. ISSN 1678-5177.

The aim of this article is to sketch a Heiddegerian reading of Winnicott. Starting from the fact that the invitation to deal philosophically with fundamental problems of Psychoanalysis comes from Freud himself, the author tries to show that Heideggers ideas might be close to Winnicott's. While the philosopher presents the difference between multiple senses of being of objects and of being a man, the psychoanalyst states that 1) the process of constitution of sense of being, although it is ignored by traditional Psychoanalysis, is a task that makes part of intrinsical problems of the human being, since the very beginning; 2) this question cannot be accommodated inside the metaphysic of representation. The author does not intend to state a systematical unit between the two thinkers but only to show a conceptual affinity not only in the area of Epistemology and but also in the area of Ontology.

Keywords : Winnicott [Donald W.]; Winnicott [1896-1971]; Psychoanalysis; Metaphysics; Metapsychology.
