ANDRADE, Érico. The emergentist assumption of Freudian psychoanalysis: notes on the irreducibility of instinct. Nat. hum. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.1, pp. 149-168. ISSN 1517-2430.

I'll would like to prove that the instincts can't to be irreducible to a strictly neurological approach. Therefore, I take the hypothesis that the organic base (natural) does not imply that its properties can be explained strictly by physiological terms. That is, the instincts are emergent properties of internal organic and to show the existence of subjective phenomena. The hypothesis of the unconscious, understood as a conceptual network, play a role of foundation of psychoanalysis and create a discipline with the task of explaining how we deal of the behavior of instincts.
