Abstract

Psychoanalytic ethicists identify caring as the deepest virtue in our work, but what is our capacity for caring at the collective level? Beyond our "groupish" nature (Bion, 1961) and our collective unconscious (Jung, 1926), the author considers an emerging collective conscience, in our theories and practices. Freud (1930) believed that our post-oedipal superegos, through the sacrifice of individual instincts, builds civilization-the "power of a community" larger than each of us. By basing his theory on one intrapsychic actor in the tragic myth of Oedipus, Freud left out a whole cast of characters who Oedipus treated as outcasts. These strangers, and those he estranged, offered a community of care to the oedipal triad. In our time the Oedipal complex has transformed into oedipal complexity; individual Oedipus at the crossroads now encounters sociocultural intersectionality. Grounded by our phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and sociogenic beginnings to bond in groups through the ethic of caring, the author tracks the longer road we travel on towards the ethic of fairness.

我们中间的陌生人:十字路口的精神分析伦理学。
精神分析伦理学家认为关怀是我们工作中最深刻的美德,但我们在集体层面上的关怀能力是什么呢?除了我们的“群体”天性(Bion, 1961)和我们的集体无意识(Jung, 1926),作者认为在我们的理论和实践中,一种新兴的集体意识。弗洛伊德(1930)认为,我们的后俄狄浦斯超我,通过牺牲个人本能,建立了文明——比我们每个人都大的“社区力量”。弗洛伊德把他的理论建立在俄狄浦斯悲剧神话中的一个内心角色的基础上,从而忽略了俄狄浦斯所抛弃的一群人物。这些陌生人,以及那些被他疏远的人,为俄狄浦斯三人格提供了一个关怀的社区。在我们这个时代,俄狄浦斯情结已经转变为俄狄浦斯情结;个体俄狄浦斯在十字路口遇到了社会文化的交集。从我们的系统发育、个体发育和社会起源开始,通过关怀的伦理在群体中建立联系,作者追踪了我们走向公平伦理的更长的道路。
