In Force, Drive, Desire, Rudolf Bernet develops a philosophical
foundation of psychoanalysis focusing on human drives. Rather than
simply drawing up a list of Freud's borrowings from Schopenhauer
and Nietzsche, or Lacan's from Hegel and Sartre, Bernet
orchestrates a dialogue between philosophy and psychoanalysis that
goes far beyond what these eminent psychoanalysts knew about
philosophy. By relating the writings of Freud, Lacan, and other
psychoanalysts to those of Aristotle, Leibniz, Schopenhauer,
Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, and, more tacitly, Bergson and
Deleuze, Bernet brings to light how psychoanalysis both prolongs
and breaks with the history of Western metaphysics and philosophy
of nature. Rereading the long history of metaphysics (or at least a
few of its key moments) in light of psychoanalytic inquiries into
the nature and function of drive and desire also allows for a
rewriting of the history of philosophy. Specifically, it allows
Bernet to bring to light a different history of metaphysics, one
centered less on Aristotelian substance (ousia) and more on the
concept of dunamis - a power or potentiality for a realization
toward which it strives with all its might. Relating human drives
to metaphysical forces also bears fruit for a renewed philosophy of
life and subjectivity.
