PHILLIPS, Adam. On what is fundamental. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2008, vol.31, n.47, pp. 16-23. ISSN 0101-3106.

Fundamental things are the ones we cannot exchange for others, the ones we should never negotiate. We understand our civility as a product of our core beliefs, but precisely these beliefs can make us lose our civility. To this picture psychoanalysis adds that we are often wrong about what is really fundamental to us, and that we usually do not act for the sake of what we believe we act. This turns the analytic setting into a useful space to discuss our commitment to fundamental values as well as ourapparent fear of fundamentalism.
