DESCRIPTION:<p><a name="OLE_LINK4"></a>This conference takes up the Wittgenstein-Freud connection from a conceptual rather than an historical point of view. Wittgenstein famously criticized Freud&rsquo\;s notion of the unconscious as part of his general critique of scientism. In this conference we explore three main questions and other themes related to the unconscious:</p>\n<p>1.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Is a viable notion of the unconscious salvageable from Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s criticisms of Freud&rsquo\;s formulations of the unconscious? And\, if so\, what is its role in philosophy\, psychoanalysis\, or social critique?</p>\n<p>2.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;What further insights about philosophy or psychology can be gleaned from rethinking Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s critique of Freud?</p>\n<p>3.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Can Wittgenstein&rsquo\;s own work be seen as presupposing or dependent upon a notion of the unconscious? If so\, what importance does that have for his philosophy?</p>\n<p>KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: Naomi Scheman (Minnesota)\; Stephen White (Tufts)</p>\n<p>FOR THOSE OUTSIDE OF SYDNEY: remote access is available via Zoom.
