Freudian das Ding and the Origin of Kantian Categories

• Authors: Jan Sumiński

Abstracts

EN

The author of the paper examines the interrelationship between Freud’s account of the concept of the Thing in his Project of Scientific Psychology and the problem of the origin of categories within Kantian philosophy. Drawing on Catherine Malabou’s “epigenesis of pure reason,” the article proposes an alternative approach to overcome the correlationist loop, based on the homeomorphic relationship between representational content and material structure that underlies Freud’s account of the mental apparatus.

Autor artykułu analizuje wzajemne powiązania między Freudowskim ujęciem pojęcia Rzeczy w jego projekcie psychologii naukowej a problemem pochodzenia kategorii w filozofii Kantowskiej. Opierając się na „epigenezie czystego rozumu” Catherine Malabou, artykuł proponuje alternatywne podejście do przezwyciężenia pętli korelacjonizmu, oparte na homeomorficznej relacji między treścią reprezentacyjną a materialną strukturą, która leży u podstaw opisu aparatu umysłowego Freuda.
