SILVA, Magali Milene. The Freudian assertion that psychoanalysis shares a scientific Weltanschauung and the sustainment of helplessness as an ethical guidance. Stylus (Rio J.) [online]. 2019, n.39, pp.105-119. ISSN 1676-157X.
In 1932, Freud affirmed that psychoanalysis shares a Weltanschauung, a scientific "world view", wagering that science would sustain a more befitting position with the helplessness that structures human condition. The present article aims to discuss the possibility of the recognition and sustainment of helplessness as an ethical guidance proposed by Freud for the treatment of the neurotic symptom and for the culture, as opposed to the "religious" way science is conveyed in our current social bond.
