| Research Abstract |
The major interest of our study lies in Sigmund Freud's recourse to the biology of his time and his borrowed terms from this science. We highlight the role they play in the construction of his psychological discourse, especially in the elaboration of the problem of affect. We discover that the later Freud’s posing, in corporeal terms, of the question of unpleasurable affects, such as pain, mourning, and anxiety, is correlated with a deeper and more accurate appreciation of the problem of trauma. We also point out the importance that his concept of affect can have in the context of twentieth-century European philosophy.
