BARREIRA, Marcelo. The aesthetic-moral appropriation of psychoanalysis by neopragmatism. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.3, pp.70-79. ISSN 1809-5267.  https://doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.arbp2021v73i3p.70-79.

Neopragmatic view of psychoanalysis disagrees with the Self-centralization of the metaphysical tradition and indicates a new redescription of itself: an aesthetic redescription. To support his proposal, Freud is seen by Rorty as an example of edifying thinker, for psychoanalysis provides a wealth of moral and political-cultural unfolding. In broad lines, our author understands the psychic world, basing on Donald Davidson´s thinking, as the meeting between "quasi-people" as "sets of beliefs and desires"; especially the conscious and the unconscious, which considers paradigmatic poles of the psychic instances. In order to understand this plural and dynamic construction of subjectivity, this article emphasizes the analysis of Rorty's texts written after 1989, especially Freud and Moral Reflection

Keywords : Rorty; Moral; Psychoanalysis; Neopragmatism.
