ABSTRACT

This article focuses on explaining the relationship between Michele Henry 's phenomenology and Freud' s psychoanalysis. This relationship can be explained in the sense of 'genealogy'. Henry reveals the "continuity of thought" between the two through reading and criticism of the unconscious. In the first section, I tried to identify what Freud could be described as "a late successor". The next section discusses how the unconscious can be read and criticized in terms of phenomenology. In this section, I sought to reveal phenomenologically the concept of unconscious from the concept of instinct and the concept of repression, which are important for understanding the unconscious. In the last section, Henry's main claim to the unconscious, "the unconscious does not exist" or "the unconscious is the Name of Life" was discussed. Through this whole inquiry I would like to measure the significance of Henry's reading and criticism of the unconscious.
