El viejo problema de la cientificidad

Good evening. Today we're going to work on the text in this video, "The Disciplinary Matrix with Jana," and again, the old problem of the scientific nature of psychoanalysis. We have many ideas in this text, many concepts to work with, so we're going to try not to miss any. The first thing the text states here is that Freud is Kantian because,

We could say that Kantian is the philosopher with whom Freud engages in dialogue, and that's where we're going to anchor ourselves to

develop the concepts that we... Remember that we are in this unit, which is the problem of the scientific nature of psychology, and here specifically of psychoanalysis. So, we start from this business that engages in dialogue, but Freud alludes to it, and it is understood and thought from that notion of Kantian rationality. And it

Psychology is part of metaphysics, and the reason Kant gives is that psychology is based on the idea of ​​the self. Yes, on that idea of ​​the self. Notice that it is
