Abstract:
The article focuses the relevance of a political dimension in the psychic. In our hermeneutics on the theme, at first, we will approach the broad lines of a break with metaphysical philosophical models of the self, taking Rorty and Heidegger’s criticisms of Jean-Paul Sartre’s “intentionality of conscience” as an example; as well as the Rortian counterpoint to the epistemological reading of psychoanalysis by Paul Ricoeur. In a second step, we will debate the Rortian conception of the self for showing, in the end, its possible limits with the antipredicative approach to the self.
