Resumo
Freud estava convencido que os desenvolvimentos futuros da Biologia iriam trazer respostas a algumas questões levantadas pela psicanálise; ao mesmo tempo, ele tinha medo que os tais desenvolvimentos pusessem a psicanálise em risco. Tanto a esperança nas possibilidades infinitas da biologia como
o medo relativo ao futuro da psicanálise estão descritos no artigo “Para além do Princípio do Prazer”, escrito em 1920. A intenção deste texto é questionar, ao fim de tantos anos, a solidez das esperanças
e dos medos freudianos. Para conseguirmos atingir o nosso propósito, contamos com uma das mais extraordinárias investigações do campo da neurobiologia, conduzida por António Damásio e a sua equipa, nas últimas décadas. Estas investigações não podem deixar a psicanálise indiferente. Tem que se confrontar a elas com novos desafios, questionar os resultados destas investigações se não quer perder a singularidade da sua teoria e prática. Tencionamos, com esta comunicação, trazer a nossa contribuição para esta questão.
Freud was persuaded that future developments on Biology would bring novelties concerning the explanation of some questions belonging to psychoanalysis; at the same time, he was afraid that the mentioned developments could put psychoanalysis at risk. Both hope of unlimited biological possibilities and fear concerning the future of psychoanalysis are expressed in the article “Beyond pleasure principle” written in 1920. In this paper we intend to question, after all this years, the solidity of both Freudian hopes and fears. To accomplish our aim, we rely on one of the most original and successful investigations on neurobiology field, conducted by António Damásio and his team in the last decades. Psychoanalysis can't be indifferent to the extraordinary developments achieved by them in the last years. It must confront them with new challenges, questioning the results of those neurobiological investigations if it doesn't want to lose the singularity of its theory and practice. We intend, with the present paper, to bring our contribution in that matter.
