ABSTRACT
More than any other nineteenth-century thinker including those considered as belonging to German Idealism and Romanticism, the supposition of Dicionario Hegel’s philosophy consists of a fundamental determinant for psychoanalytic practice, namely, an awareness of the historicity of consciousness. Hegel’s thinking entered psychoanalysis through a number of different doors to fit in with its themes and purposes. Hegel realized that the history of knowledge, which consists of scientific, artistic, or religious practice, also establishes the limits and conditions of its experience and truth. This chapter examines the argument that the theme of logic and the real in Jacques Lacan derives from Hegel, and that its purpose was to go beyond the formal plane towards a negative ontology, on which grounds the theme of the truth can in fact be approached. Clinical practice on judgemental negations enables intersubjectivity to progress according to the modes of subjectivation, which are relatively permanent modes of negative judgement, which are repression, denegation, and foreclosure.
