BORNHAUSER, Niklas  y  PLNEDA, Luis Alejandro. Psychoanalysis and logic: the unconscious as real-impossible. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.129, pp.121-138. ISSN 2340-2733.

This article is located within the general coordinates of the relationship between psychoanalysis and logic. From the Freudian approach towards the unconscious as a contradictory concept, the problem of its logical implications could be traced in some of the tenets of two renowned psychoanalysts: Ignacio Matte Blanco and Jacques Lacan. Starting from the shared commitment of the unconscious thought from a local point of view, it is proposed to conceive the unconscious based respectively on the categories of the infinite and the significant, as they share a common ground consisting in their insistence on the paradox. This finally implies to install the problem of the unconscious in a structural impossibility, which has had Bernard Russell and his paradox of sets among its main referents. Under these general coordinates the paradox would be installed as a necessary reference. Simultaneously, the category of the real in Lacan is introduced as a way of glimpsing the status of Russell's paradox.

Palabras clave : logic; unconscious; infinite; significant; paradox.
