How could the structures of the human mind have been born ? One single question that implies so many others and numerous wonderings. But among the chaos of propositions after so much time, maybe we were just missing out one key element to resolve most of the theoretical and experiential problems.
The ‘Three paradoxes and concentric circles’ book is about a theory of anthropogenesis, weaving threads from philosophy, psychoanalysis, neuroscience and more, but also a reflection on societies of today – and tomorrow. It also reflects the richness and emulation of the exchanges, as well as the opening of the theoretical production that it can produce. It has, for instance, been cited in psychoanalyst Darian Leader’s book, La jouissance, vraiment ? (Stilus, 2020), which initiates an audacious revision of some of the most ambiguous elements of lacanian theory and its misuses.
It is also the occasion to talk about gender in psychoanalysis and society, with The Vulvic Network project, designed to rethink the symbolic model through which we tackle those issues.
We wished to open this space to think about it collectively.
