Abstract

The aim of this research project is to offer an interpretation of the Freud's reference to Immanuel Kant in the text Beyond the Pleasure Principle. For such, is necessary to follow the argumentative movement that insert it in the text, beyond circumscribing some points of the Freud's psychoanalytical work that deal with the temporality of the psychic processes and to approach, in introductory way, the anthropological inflection of the Kantian transcendental aesthetic made by Schopenhauer.
