Resumo: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
According to Freud, the concept of drive is one of the most important of
psychoanalysis and it is essential for psychology. Despite its conceptual relevance
and centrality, the obscurity and vagueness that permeates this definition always
raised controversial issues. The theory of drives suffered rearrangements, additions
and corrections throughout the freudian production and still remained, according to
the author, incomplete. In this work, the presentation of Spinoza’s concept of potency
serves as a starting point for reading and systematization of Freud’s concept of drive.
The persistence of the old problem concerning the relation between mind and body
explains, partly, the current interest in the thought of Spinoza. For the philosopher,
mind and body are expressions of a unique substance - indivisible, in one hand, but
with proper causalities of each one, in the other. The potency, one of the key concepts
in this philosophy, is used in this research with aim to provide an extra view of the
drive’s concept, which definition is at the center of the mind-body problem. The axis
of convergence between these two concepts mainly lies in the fact that are both
constituent forces, that engender the human and that they present intensive variations.
Starting from this similarity, other issues are also managed: the issue of lack of free
will and the possibility of thinking the psychic apparatus as a work performed by the
body.
