Abstract

LUTEREAU, Luciano. Merleau-Ponty and Freud and Lacan's psychoanalysis: Desire, unconscious and language. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.283-290. ISSN 1851-1686.

According to the modification of Merleau-Ponty's point of view regarding psychoanalysis (between 1942 and 1945) we will recognize his interpretations of the Freudian desire and sexuality as the groundwork of the incorporation of psychoanalysis into Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. Secondly, we will consider Merleau Ponty's interpretation of the notion of unconscious, produced in the course of the 50's. Regarding the nature of language, in the third part of the article a fundamental divergence between Merleau Ponty's interpretation of psychoanalysis and Lacan's psychoanalysis will be presented, which makes their notions of desire and unconscious incompatibles.

Keywords : Phenomenology; Psychoanalysis; Merleau-Ponty.
