Peri tes psychepoias. Patočka et l’art : une pensée de la création sans sujet

If the objective meaning of philosophy and science is different from the subjective meaning of life as it is expressed by art, the self-creation of the soul can express, through art, a universal objective; philosophy, art, and psychoanalysis create living meanings. Can we think of creation outside the subject? The psyche, which is neither substance nor subject, is self-created, and it is described in Patočka’s theory of the three movements of human existence. My intention in this article is to describe the self-creation of the psyche within the deeproot-movement, the reproduction-movement, and the truth-movement, and examine it from the phenomenological, psychoanalytical, and sociopolitical points of view. The essence of Psyche is creation; its purpose is autonomy. I seek to demonstrate here that creation can be a subject-free process, an asubjective movement.
