Popis: The origins of the early unrepressed unconscious linked to primary experiences (some traumatic) stored in implicit memory are discussed in relation to the “structural” unconscious described by Matte-Blanco. Matte-Blanco's intuition relating to the bi-logic—symmetric and asymmetric—with which the unconscious operates is discussed in comparison with the “symmetrization” that characterizes the unrepressed unconscious described here. The hypothesis is advanced that this unconscious linked to implicit memory, marked by an indivisible and homogenizing set, and dominated by infinite emotions that make it similar to mathematical infinity, may work only with symmetrical logic. On this basis, the fundamental antinomy of human beings can be considered to reflect the opposing dual logic existing in the unconscious (repressed and unrepressed) and the opposing logic that characterizes the conscious with its asymmetry and the unconscious dominated by symmetric processes. The concept of bi-logic that Matte-Blanc...
