August Deese
Jacques Schotte
August Deese (1928 – 1988)
‘the unknown philosopher’
“c’est le philosophe le plus original et le plus important de Fribourg depuis Heidegger” (Albert Chapelle s.j.) (Schotte, 2006, p. 118)
It’s the most original and the most important philosopher since Heidegger
“pas une phrase, pas un mot”
“il a tout emporté avec lui dans sa tombe” (Schotte, 2006, p. 124)
Not a sentence, not a word
He took everything to his grave
Jacques Schotte (Ghent, 1928 – 2007, Ghent)

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (Stuttgart, 27 augustus 1770 – Berlijn, 14 november 1831)

all good things come in threes
the Hegelian dialectic
endless repetition of itself (closed system)
the triadic dialectics of August Deese
transcends the classical dialectic, opening something new (open system)
‘ouverture globale’
term 1 term 2 term 3
• dialectic relation as such
first term - second term - third term
T R A N S F O R MA T I O N
dialectic tension
dialectic relation as such
essential difference
the third term is the dialectic relation
breaking open the first term
mediated by the second term
leading to transformation
‘it’s just because of the third term that the whole can articulate itself ànd that the difference between the two other terms can be transcended’
(Schotte, p. 54)
accent on the last of the three terms, because this is their ‘real goal and real origin’
(‘leur véritable but et leur vraie origine’)

- enables to stay upright
- staying alive ...

- sustains the BASIS
- in relation to the Father: Père/Pairs (father/peers)
- in relation to the Law
ORIGIN
- Latin: oriri: being born
- the thrill to live as the subject itself
- ... life that the father and the mother can’t give
the developmental (ontogenetic) perspective:
mother & father the child
the structural (non-genetic, ontological) perspective
basis foundation
developmental ‘Mother comes first’ ...
structural the Father(ly) supports the Mother(ly) the foundation of the basis
structural perspective
everybody is continually called to find in the first two terms the germs of its own origin
through transformation of the first two termstowards a transformation of itself
developmental perspective
the adolescence as the beginning of being oneself

4 ground pathologies

perversion
neurosis
psychosis
1) neurosis as the negative of perversion (Freud)
‘Neurose ist sozusagen das Negativ der Perversion.’
Freud, Drei Abhandlungen zur Sexualtheorie, 1905
‘ the pervert is doing what the neurotic is dreaming of’ (Freud)
2) classes ( DSM )
interactive pathological ground structures of being entangled in psychopathology

dire Sagen talking
to do a lot of talking
to run out of words
discourir Reden discoursing
an intersubjective reference

parler Sprechen speaking
a real dialogue
transformation: still the same, not the same anymore
g i v i n g a n e w d y n a m i c
by means of the second term (discoursing)
to the first term (talking)
keeping the speech act and therapeutic change open
the heart of the matter
Jean Oury (° 1924)
founder and ‘médecin directeur’ of‘La Borde’ in Cour- Cheverny (France)
One of the founding fathers of the ‘Psychothérapie Institutionnelle’
‘ouvrir les systèmes institutionnels cloisonnés’
opening the closed institutionnel systems
in the broad sense of the word !
‘dialectiser les systèmes’
dialecting the systems
‘(...)
elle ne débouche en tout cas pas sur une synthèse clôturante,
mais plutôt sur
une réouverture ou une remobilisation.’(p. 133)
it does not lead in any way to a closing synthesis
but more to
an opening anew or a mobilisation anew.

The Open Dialogue Approach to Acute Psychosis:Its Poetics and Micropolitics
Jaakko SeikkulaMary E. Olson
Family Process, 2003
poetics
tolerance of uncertainty
dialogism
polyphony in social network
tolerance of uncertainty
making talking (dire) possible ...
dialogism
the aim of discoursing the prevailing discours
polyphony
many voices, still two to tango :
the professional system the non-professional system
k e r n e l q u e s t i o ns for
the Open Dialogue approach
- where is speaking (parler, Sprechen) as the transforming term?
- the third term: crucial or not ?
to speak or not to speak that’s the question ...
Here, there and everywhere
nothing compares 2 3 ?
mirror stage (Lacan)
master – slave dialectic (Hegel): live and let die
i m p a s s e
* psychoanalysis * anthropology * philosophy * in life
open Dialogue ...
the third term breaches the impasse
the core factor for the whole
implemented
in philosophy (August Deese)
in psychoanalysis (Lacan: the-Name-of-the-Father)
in anthropopsychiatry (Jacques Schotte)
in life
to be implemented
in the Open Dialogue approach ?
