Abstract

The aim of this study is to contextualize and problematize the similarities and differences between the place that reason holds in the core of psychoanalytic and romantic thinking. Starting from the idea of rationality and mastery of nature and desire, we show how psychoanalysis and romanticism have the same object of analysis, but different methods and perspectives of approach. For this, at certain times it will be necessary to situate both psychoanalysis and Romanticism against the Enlightenment. As a parameter for our study, we will take the text A posição de Freud na moderna história das ideias, by Thomas Mann, where the author highlights how psychoanalysis at the same time stands for rationality but falls outside the scientific naturalism.
