Resumo
As relações que Wittgenstein mantém com o pensamento de Freud, como atestaram vários estudiosos, são marcadamente ambíguas: existe, por um lado, uma crítica acerba do caráter pseudocientífico com que a psicanálise apresenta supostas “descobertas empíricas”, e do fascínio exercido por este modo de proceder; mas há, por outro lado, evidências da sua admiração pelo efeito dissolvente do uso de metáforas e interpretações, chegando mesmo Wittgenstein a incorporar essa estratégia ao seu próprio método de investigação lógica dos conceitos filosóficos. Neste trabalho pretendo retirar de uma reflexão acerca do método incorporado às Investigações Filosóficas, comparável em muitos aspectos à clínica de uma psicanálise lingüística dessubstancializada, alguns pontos positivos que se poderiam acrescentar à crítica da concepção de linguagem de Lacan.
The relations which Wittgenstein entertains with Freud's thinking, as indicated by some scholars, are markedly ambiguous: there is, for the one side, an acerbic criticism about the pseudoscientific character with which psychoanalysis presents its supposed empirical discoveries, and, consequently, the fascination exherted by this kind of procedure. But there is also, for the other side, evidences of admiration by the dissolving effect the use of interpretations and metaphors in psychoanalysis realizes, encouraging Wittgenstein to even incorporate such strategy to his own method of logical investigation of philosophical concepts. In this article I intend to draw some reflection about the method incorporated to the Philosophical Investigations, in several aspects really similar to a clinic of a desubstantialized linguistic psychoanalysis, in order to add some positive points to the criticism usually made to the Lacanian conception of language.
