The paradoxical pair is perception – representation

Psychoanalytical concepts

Abstract

Any paradox arises under the obligatory and unchangeable condition - the presence of two interrelated components with opposite and/ or mutually exclusive properties, while the components are in close connection with each other.
Paradoxes, on the one hand, bring conflict into the psi apparatus, and on the other, force the psyche to look for a way out that will bring satisfaction, relaxation and solace to all instances.
