The ontological movement of the unconscious from the angst

Abstract

The field of psychoanalysis is that of the atopic, that of the disease without an anatomic organ and the suffering without a logical cause. Since the moment of its birth with Freud, its development has revolved around the lack of foundation, experi-enced in the primary feeling of angst. Therefore, the present article has been made with the purpose to remember the reasons why the psychoanalysis, before being a doctrine or a referential system for the interpretation of the human psyche phenomena, rises as a clinical practice that appeals to a primitive experience and that, consequently, has cer-tain ontological significance. Between Martin Heidegger’s fundamental ontology and the freudian discovery of the unconscious, the communicating vessel of the angst can be found, which has the power to open and renew the question of meaning, if not of being, then at least of suffering.
