Università Roma Tre

The course offers a reflection on the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis that are increasingly intertwined in contemporary thought.
Starting from Freud, considered in the prospective of Nietzsche, Marx and Sartre as well, a new problem arose in Philosophy: the lies of the conscience dented some fundamenal principles wich formed the blackbone f traditional philosophy: the asolutness of the Cogito and the obviousness of conscience. The subject of knowledge must now examine how he knows, and ask himself where his knowledge comes from.
In bringing together philosophy and psychoanalysis, it becomes necessary to deal with the unconscious, which gives a new value to thoughts and leads to another form of reason, which can eventually accept feelings.
