It seems to us that the last part of Bion’s work is orientated towards mystical concerns. But it is not a return to the past or a regression. These works, on the contrary, are on the same level of Freud’s most instigating and disconcerting works, like “The Future of an Illusion” and “Moses the Man”. This essential need of man, that is, the need to give meaning to his world will be submitted by Bion to psychoanalysis’s scrutiny.

Keywords : Psychoanalysis; Bion; Mystic; knowledge; Trauma.
