Description
Bion’s unfashionable thought is a challenge for our times in which anaesthesia
and mass thinking prevail. The themes this book addresses are time
and the unconscious.
In the present/past, the here and now reveals its relationship with the
unredeemable time, which conditions our behaviour and is at the root of a
state of hallucinosis in the form of a short-sighted view that is distorted by
deep-seated wounds. This book also highlights the resonances with contemporary
epistemology and physics that underlie the new paradigm of
psychoanalytic field theory. The topic of the unconscious raises questions
about its origin and the difference between the Bionian and the Freudian
unconscious. In Bion we see an evolutionary, process character emerge,
with a double movement of repetition and expansion within a single system
in unstable equilibrium, for which there is no conscious feeling that does
not also carry with it the shadow of the unconscious.
Drawing on psychoanalytic and philosophical concepts this book is essential
reading for psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, philosophers and anyone
who wishes to understand more fully what it means to be human.
