In this article, we intend to deal with a case of Binswanger privileged by Merleau-Ponty. In this case, the philosopher develops the question of the statute of the symptom as a way of elaboration of life, but arrives in an impasse: how to think this elaboration without denying that the subject complete restructures itself in front an impasse? Furthermore, what means to say that the subject elaborates a new way of life? We will see how this Merleau-Ponty’s reflection of psychoanalyses is peculiar, leading him to deny a key concept of Freudian’s metapsychology: the unconscious.
