ABSTRACT

Theory may be necessary to represent the similarity between people separated by race, religion, language and distance, measured in terms of or by physical time and space. Epistemology is the study of knowledge, justifying theories about it and obstacles to it. Internal objects, instincts and their psychic equivalents are the luminescent blind man’s stick for one’s life, amenable to be likened to “epistemes”, the ultimately ineffable, non-sensuously apprehensible, transcendent underlying guidelines to knowledge. Psychoanalysis seems to a vindicating phylogenetic introjection of some cyclically forgotten insights on truth, mind, life and nature. Psychoanalysis amended the need to apprehend the truth of outer reality with the apprehension of the self’s truth, inner psychic reality. A basic source of error seems to be subservience to desire and pleasure, which manifests itself as a mix, in varying degrees, of hate for truth and love and a sensuous-concretised contempt for mind and life.
