Thinking as a partner

“The aim of an analysis is to re-form one’s own thinking but more mature than the beginning, a thought which was disabled, unauthorized… The first general discovery of a psychoanalyst should be his, or her own freedom of psychology : he can authorize on his, or her own, and it could not be otherwise, in all the legal capacity of word itself : he, or she lives socially and professionally on his, or her legal permission like an entrepreneur, a writer, a politician, a philosopher, a social promoter.”[3]

“I’ve already distinguished between common thinking, friend of an Order, and sole thinking, as a systematic and pathogenic imposition. The least we could expect from someone formed as a psychoanalist as a particular case, is that he, or she aims to make Society with someone else similar to him, or her : not a psychoanalytic Society that is of the particular case. I’ve called it ‘Società Amici del pensiero’…”[4]

Since 2011, as a supporting partner, I join the ‘Società Amici del pensiero’ founded by Giacomo B. Contri.

[1] ‘Civil law partnerships’ or ‘simple partnerships’ maybe correspond to our Italian ‘società semplice’: see the articles from 2249 to 2290 of Italian Civil Code. “The simple partnership necessarily ha sas its object the exercise of a ‘non commercial’ activity and is the normal kind for this activity, the one meant adopted unless it turns otherwise. This happens for agriculture, handicraft, and activities of intellectual professionists”, in ‘Gli imprenditori e le società’, Francesco Ferrara – ‘Dott. A. Giuffrè Editore’, Milan (1978), p.249 / “…The companies that have as their object the exercise of a different activity (from the commercial one – editor’s note) are ruled by the provisions about the simple partnership (articles from 2251-2290 of the Italian Civil Code)…”, cited from art. 2249 Italian Civil Code); “in the simple partnership the contract is not governed by special forms, except for the forms required by the nature of assets conferred.” (art. 2251 Italian Civil Code).

Isolate oneself, also by a formally academic procedure, points out impotence and then an ingenuous ‘jacquerie’. (Original painting by Gianni Russomando)[1].

“In the presupposed Law, the individual will be left 1. or the unconditional submission, 2. or the always defeated rebelry, like any ‘jacquerie’, 3. or the perversion as a denial – disavowal of any statement as a positive – that is to say  that it  does pose – act.”[2]

Here is changeling[4] the new-born Constitution, aren’t you ?

There’s deep resistance, emotional not loving, towards benefit : and you know how to justify yourself in front of that principle of no contradiction which is laying indeed the science of thinking, or unconscious.

 “There is hostility to thinking, the one which can’t promote and then reject the economic, jurisdictional, not ontological thinking : the present Course is in continuity with the previous one, ‘The tree and the fruit’, dedicated to rectitude, or economic ‘recht-itude’, which makes the Subject an Institution among Institutions, without any submission nor reciprocal haughtiness.

This hostility lets us understand a not demonstrated but invincible assumption (as the ‘assumption’ of love[1]) that a Law, no matter what, is already done, only assumed and not laying, so that the access will be prevented to thinking, everytime and uniquely individual, from the truth that  ‘ius semper condendum’ in every daily act.”[2]

The access of individual thinking to the truth cannot be detracted without sanction.

Unaware we are not, that thinking inhabits us : but it is on our connections[2] that a dense fog lets down… Someone persists in calling it performance anxiety.
