Quotes
The real weapon of rational knowledge, this is not a science experiment, but intelligence visionary who inspires him.
Anthropology attempts to critically think about the current condition simiohumaine psychogenic in its specificity. As such, it is a science that focuses on the scanning of the Roman religion that because of the anthropological significance of this cult. He did not survive the other, today, to illustrate this kind of political realism simiohumain, hence the vital need felt by this kind of relationships with palpable anguish of the void immensity. But at the same time, the considerable difficulties that Christian theology has encountered from the first century to St. Ambrose to return to primitive blood offertories and triumph of the prophet who claimed to be the bread and wine of the mind these difficulties, I say, have allowed some Christian mystics to change prophets of the "true God" of the world, the God of intelligence. (The Bill on the burqa, July 6, 2009)
Why psychoanalysis whole did it well guarded from entering the cruel descendants of Darwin? Why did she refuse to ask what is a species of animal being supposed evasion of zoology, and that by the way, called sanctifying, the repeated murder of an innocent man on his altars? Why psychoanalysis anthropological theology is it in its infancy, while the sacred cosmologies are the keys to the unconscious of bloody politics and history? God does not sleep on the couch, is to refuse to advance his true descendants of Freud, but also to Jung, who first wrote that the genocide of the Flood deserves to move up in court if he was required to a man. But the future of an illusion (The philosophical Fertilization of Psychoanalysis - Freud and the future of the unconscious 23 May 2010)
