THE RECEPTION OF FREUD AND PSYCHOANALYSIS IN THE CONTEXT OF COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCES
from Eric Kandel's synapses to António Damásio's bodily subject
Abstract
This article explores theoretical and methodological aspects of reading and reception that Freudian concepts and descriptions have had in the neuroscientific context of the last 30 years. Specifically, we demonstrate some central issues that the contemporary neuroscientific community has addressed to psychoanalysis, through the scientific and physiological project of naturalization of the mind directed by Eric. R. Kandel. We discuss the conceptual and programmatic parameters of this project and highlight its strengths and failing from the point of view of the subjectivity approach, from the perspective of psychoanalysis. We think that António R. Damásio's theory of consciousness and self is more consistent in addressing the qualitative and phenomenal dimension of psychic functions, because it is supported by bodily substrates. We also argue that Damásio's stratified and hierarchical neuropsychological model presents a potential confluence with Freudian descriptions of the ego and memory.
