Laplanche's Critique of Kleinism
This chapter critically examines La Planche's perspectives on Melanie Klein's theories, particularly his challenge to Klein's constructivism and concept of part objects. It explores the philosophical dialogue between Laplanche and contemporaries like Cassirer, addressing themes of language, meaning, and the tension between phenomenology and structuralism. The discussion emphasizes the need for greater recognition of La Planche's contributions to psychoanalysis and the importance of contextual interpretation in understanding his work.
