A construção da autonomia social e psíquica no pensamento de Cornelius Castoriadis / The construction of social and psychological autonomy in the tought of cornelius castoriadis

RESUMO

O artigo aborda a idéia de autonomia proposta pelo filósofo e psicanalista Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997), segundo a qual a suposição do inconsciente, com oconseqüente descentramento do sujeito e desmistificação do sujeito consciente de si,é plenamente compatível com, e mesmo condição para, a construção de umasubjetividade autônoma. A existência do inconsciente e a busca de autonomia não seriam pressupostos excludentes, opostos ou incompatíveis e sim complementares(AU)

ABSTRACT

The paper approaches the conception of “autonomy”, such as it was proposed by thephilosopher and psychoanalyst Cornelius Castoriadis (1922-1997). According to thisauthor, the concept of unconscious (that leads to the decentralization anddemythification of the all-conscious subject) is plainly compatible with the constructionof an autonomous subjectivity, being even its condition. Contrariously to those whocriticizes the concept of autonomy, Castoriadis maintains that the existence of theunconscious and the search for autonomy are not excluding nor opposite norincompatible. Instead, they are complementary to each other
