ABSTRACT

This chapter describes interpret the statement by B. Spinoza as meaning that the literal meaning of narrow-mindedness is vision of limited perspective. Reality is comprised of neither things nor processes, but of holons, and is infinite. In The Fragile Absolute, S. Zizek referred to the connection between the structure and its own event; On the one hand, the event is the impossible Real of a structure, of its synchronous symbolic order, the violent gesture that generated it. On the other hand, one could contend the opposite: the status of the event itself is phantasmic. When truth rises to a higher plane, what might be experienced by us as real in the context of the psyche can become imaginary. J. Lacan interpreted thus what S. Freud called "the reality of the psyche". In the XXth seminar, Lacan said: "the ego can also be a flower of rhetoric, which grows in the pot of the pleasure principle that Freud calls 'Lustprinzip'.
