This article analyzes Alasdair MacIntyre’s The Unconscious. This book interrogates the psychoanalytic
theory from the analytic philosophy of mind and thus continues the conversation between psychoanalysis and Anglo-Saxon philosophy. MacIntyre’s thesis is discussed, namely, that the concept of the unconscious is not necessary to formulate scientific laws that correlate childhood experiences with adult life, concluding that,
MacIntyre ignored, when raising this thesis, what he himself considers to be the greatest achievement of
psychoanalytic theory.
