RECOGNITION AND INTERSUBJECTIVITY. NOTES ON ALTERITY IN PSYCHOANALYSIS

Abstract

This work aims to investigate the philosophical theories of recognition, as studied by Paul Ricoeur and Axel Honneth, by articulating them with the evolution of the concept of alterity handled by psychoanalysis. Additionally, there is a brief incursion into the contributions of feminist psychoanalysis, particularly Nancy Chodorow and Jessica Benjamin, as another pole of interpellation to the psychoanalytic theory of the subject. Finally, some lines of intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis or relational psychoanalysis are presented, a theorization that structures a renewal of theory and clinical practice and that takes up the epistemological challenge of validating psychoanalysis in light of current knowledge.
