RODRIGUES, Hugo Elidio. Joints between Leibniz and Robine's Thought: The Gestalt-therapy Inspired through the Fold. []. , 19, spe, pp.1067-1083. ISSN 1808-4281.

This article aims to deepen the concept of "fold", mentioned in the book "The Unfolded Self", by Jean-Marie Robine, articulating this concept to the contributions of Deleuze, through his work entitled "The Fold - Leibniz and the Baroque". In order to accomplish this articulation, a historical contextualization will be made in relation to the lebnizian critiques of Cartesian thought. Taking the notion of fold, according to Deleuze's interpretation of the leibnizian work, as a new paradigmatic foundation, some possibilities of use in clinical practice of the gestation approach will be presented. New contributions from Jean-Marie Robine will be brought to the concept of Self of Gestalt-therapy. Concluding the article, arguments will be presented that make a plausible analogy between Cartesian thought taken as a foundation, and some contemporary tendencies of Brazilian politics. Recognizing how the basis of thought from a Cartesian plan can suggest a simplified and reductionist way of facing complex and systematic issues, and how such a trend of thought is currently found in speeches of Brazilian political leaders.
