O INDIVÍDUO E A SOCIEDADE PARA ALÉM DAS PARTES E DO TODO: UMA LEITURA PSICANALÍTICA E FILOSÓFICA

Abstract

his article aims to carry out a transdisciplinary ontological reflection, starting from epistemological principles of philosophy, sociology and psychoanalysis, on the relationship between subject and society. We start from the assumption that there is no breach of continuity between them, no transcendence of the social (whole) over the individual (parts). In other words, the State does not impose itself on the social, “taming” the chaotic nature of the human being, just as society does not impose itself onthe individual. We believe that, in both cases, there is no relation of transcendence or split, but of immanence, imbrication. Society produces subjectivities, to the same extent that it produces itself. In this sense, our objective is to make, from the theoretical matrices presented, an inflection that the life experienced collectively (not in abstract), is exactly what allows the realization of human powers in a full way, something that is never achieved in isolation , without breaking with our “habitual” isolation. Finally, we will inquire about the possibility of the emergence of an alternative society in which individuals can reconstruct the sense of community from a collective experience that occurs in "living with", "living together" without, however, giving in to temptation to merge with the “flock” conformism that nullifies the singularities. A de-subjectified community, which does not need the egoic subject, but not the communion with the other. The methodology of our investigation will focus on the bibliographic analysis of reference authors such as Castoriadis, Freud, Marx, among others.
