Psychoanalysis and fateHajdini, Simon (Avtor) psychoanalysiscausalitycontingencydestinyfatalismfreedomThe text explores the Lacanian-Kierkegaardian concept of repetition, linking it to fate, subjectivity, and the unconscious. Taking its cue from Freud’s concept of the compulsion of destiny as it relates to Lacan’s radical reinterpretation of the Aristotelian couple of automaton and tyche, the article examines the idea of successful failure in psychoanalysis and its connection to fatalistic freedom. The latter challenges traditional notions of freedom as choice and embraces a more contingent and unpredictable understanding of fate.20252026-04-29 09:47:40Neznano182181UDK: 159.964.26:124.6ISSN pri članku: 0555-2419COBISS_ID: 275557891sl
