• TITLE: The Quantum Unconscious and the Observant Consciousness

  AUTHORS: Rui Freire Lucas

  KEYWORDS: Unconscious, Observation, Quantum Mechanics, Psychoanalysis, Epistemological Reformulation

  JOURNAL NAME: Psychology, Vol.7 No.6, June 16, 2016

  ABSTRACT: Based on the philosophy of Henri Bergson and the contemporary developments of Quantum Physics, I sought to demonstrate how these developments are incompatible with a positivist vision of reality, which is still influential in the scientific community. Specifically, in the field of Psychoanalysis, I have shown how this outdated epistemology has been responsible for a manic denial of the theories of Carl Gustav Jung and Wilfred Bion (later stage) as part of an immobilising allegiance to a schizo-paranoid functional tradition imposed by its founder. Finally, I have proposed that supported by the formulations of these renegade analysts, psychoanalysis can progress to a depressive position, eventually transmitting this integrated perspective of reality to the rest of the scientific community and postmodern society in general.
