ABSTRACT

Contemporary scientific thinking and aesthetics notions such as complexity, uncertainty, incompleteness, non-linearity, negativity, undecidability, indetermination, etc., complement and integrate Bion’s thinking. The concept of caesura would be unthinkable without these developments. The causal theory is omnipotent “and is only valid in the domain of morality and only morality can cause anything. Meaning has no influence outside the psyche and causes nothing”. The theory of causation, in a scientific sense in so far as it has , is therefore an instance of carrying over a moral domain in which its original penumbra of moral association is inappropriate. The concept of a tool that detects underlying realities in the midst of apparently disconnected material, that is, the theory of the selected fact, seems to have been substituted by a more developed concept, that of invariance. Reasoning based on a cause-effect scheme hinders the psychoanalytical view.
