Introduction by Professor Bernard GOLSE
"Between animal and human, the second difficulty
Between the first Copernican difficulty formulated in terms ontic (the earth is not the center of the universe who do recognize the point, by definition of infinity) and the third challenge made by psychoanalysis ("The me is not the master's house "because of the existence of the unconscious), S. Freud has located a second difficulty one might say Darwinian, that man seems to finally be back in an animal among others.
It is true that the twentieth century, according to B. Doray, "we have all learned many ways to destroy the individual" actually sounds like a sad confirmation of the adage that tells us that "man is wolf to man" ...
But the animal that she would be negative? There is also everything that man has lost by moving away, if only very little, the first of its animality, humanity and if there, would she not linked, paradoxically, this capability particular our thinking from, our roots and our history? The children certainly need someone tells them stories, but adults also need to know them, for better or for worse.
However, precisely, is rooted in the human animality ... for better or for worse! Between animals and humans, so there is, indeed, a difficulty, the second for humanity according to S. Freud, but the second or not, today it is a difficulty that is, for us, both as a narcissistic and began as an exciting incentive to search for our origins. "
