Las neurociencias en el 150 aniversario de Freud: la apuesta psicoanalítica por el sujeto hoy ... como ayer

An epistemological mistake is at the basis of: (1) the presupposition according to which the advance of the neurosciences will manage to make superfluous the explanations of psychoanalysis, (2) the idea that the latter will eventually be reduced to neurosciences’ explanations, (3) the thesis that neurosciences will demonstrate psychoanalysis. This mistake has important ethical consequences because it misunderstands that psychoanalysis deals with the subject of the unconscious.
