The other is Everything A Response to Adrienne Harris's and Bruce Reis's Discussions of “An other in Psychoanalysis”
The author comments on several questions raised in Harris's and Reis's discussions of “An Other in Psychoanalysis.” He elaborates on the notion of ambivalence between the general and particular as a theoretical and ethical perspective in psychoanalytic thought and practice. Contemplating ambivalence as active or passive, he argues for a theoretical and clinical stance of ambivalent activism. He raises the question of otherness as something internal and external to the subject in Levinas and in psychoanalysis. Considering the notions of the relational unconscious and the relational third, he suggests the idea of an unconscious-outside. He concludes by pointing to the possibility of thinking a nonsubjective unconscious beyond the intersubjective-relational register. Such unconscious consists of all theoretical and social discourses in which subjectivity is defined.
