CARVALHO, Wanderley Magno de. Of Psychoanalysis as a particular science of singular. []. , 14, 3, pp.967-986. ISSN 1808-4281.

The article proposes to consider psychoanalysis as a science of the singular. It differentiates science of contemporary scientism, and defines the terms "particular", "science" and "singular". Then, it discusses the dominant conception of science and applies, in opposition to this univocal term, part of mathematical set theory presented by philosopher Alain Badiou. It proposes to recognize the plurality of the sciences, which infers that psychoanalysis is a particular science. Thereafter, it point some passages from the works of S. Freud and Lacan authorizing our understanding of psychoanalysis as a science. Discusses the theme of truth in psychoanalysis and Badiou, and ends with the proposal that the device "pass" is a procedure of formalization of psychoanalytic science.
