ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines an innovative path of psychoanalytic thought, specifically in relation to the concepts of "aesthetic object", "aesthetic conflict, and "claustrum", with the complex clinical and theoretical problems that are linked to them. Various clinical experiences have strongly suggested to the author that the exit from the tunnel, this explosion for the senses that is the apparition of the external world, must be the primary aesthetic experience. Melanie Klein has described in relation to the oscillation between the schizoid-paranoid position and the depressive position. This material can also be described as the oscillation between the partial object and the total object, or between a quantitative and a qualitative relationship to the world, or between the absence and the presence of meaning, or between the absence and presence of emotion. All these different aspects are implied in the distinction between schizoid-paranoid position and the depressive position made by Melanie Klein.
