The volume addresses the philosophical, epistemological and
interdisciplinary aspects of the link between psychoanalysis and
topology. Looking at the historical developments of psychoanalytic
theory, one can hardly overlook the significant presence of
architectonic and geometrical references that traverse Freud's
writings. Lacan's return to Freud made a decisive step in taking
these metaphors seriously and engaged with the mathematical
correspondence of Freud's topological models. He thereby
intensified the link with topology, which obtained an important
didactic and conceptual value. The contributions highlight the
ongoing relevance of this "topological turn" in psychoanalysis by
exploring both concrete topological objects and outline the
philosophical framework that supports the relation of
psychoanalysis to topology.
