What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani sees Freud as a physician who does not call himself a philosopher, but whose thought is among the most fruitful for modern philosophy1. What he mainly takes from him is the discovery of a psychic unconscious, made of "thoughts that I do not think", which extends the subject beyond consciousness. He links this to Spinoza2. He often discusses The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, especially the forgetting of "aliquis"3, as well as dreams, repression, narcissism and ambivalence. He dwells on the late Freud: the repetition compulsion observed in the traumatized soldiers of 1914, and the death drive. For him, the sentence "the death drives progress in silence" is Freud's most profound4. He praises Freud's caution as a researcher who revises his hypotheses. Following Clouscard, he criticizes him for ignoring class determinations: the Freudian unconscious is said to have its own unconscious, praxis and the relations of production, and to be encompassed by the Marxian unconscious5.
