Another "Analytical Revolution": Psychoanalysis in a Conceptual History of Analysis

In this research project, we aimed to determine the epoch-making place of psychoanalysis in the conceptual history of analysis in Europe. We first examined the operations called "analysis" in Geometry and Logic in Ancient Greece, so as to point out three major moments of "analytical" operation: supposition, regression and decomposition, and then described changes occurring in its conception as it was transposed in other disciplines (Algebra, Philosophy, Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Psychiatry and Psychoanalysis) as a reconfiguration of these three moments. Finally, it was shown that Freudian and Lacanian Psychoanalysis articulated, beyond the modern conception of analysis reduced to decomposition, an original conceptual configuration of three analytical moments, with a particular focus on that of supposition.
