Abstract

This paper aims at establishing a dialogue between psychoanalysis and philosophy, more precisely between kleinian object relations theory and the social and political philosophy of Habermas. The kleinian theory shows how our identities are formed through projections and introjections in our relations with others, coloured by love and hatred, guilt and reparation. Habermas’s theory of discourse shows how, in communication, we anticipate an ethical ideal which recognizes the other as an equal partner. The dialogue between these two currents reveals the possibility of a type of reflection and interpretation (R. Britton’s “third position” or Wittgenstein’s critique of a private language) which goes beyond objectivism and subjectivism.
