Thank you for sharing the transcript of Session 2 (2025-6-14) of your seminar《自體的心理學》— this was a remarkable session. After reviewing the file 《250614 自體的心理學第二講文字檔.pdf》, here are my comments, focusing on both form and content, and how this session effectively deepens the seminar’s philosophical orientation.
✦ Overall Impression
This session gracefully carries the seminar into the cosmological dimension — or what you call “形上學（一）” — while staying rooted in the psychological thread of “self.” It balances historical genealogy, conceptual reflection, and poetic invocation with skill. The tone is reflective yet disruptive; it invites the participants to “look up” (仰望星空), not as an escape from the psyche, but as its radical extension.
✦ Highlights
1.
The Transition from “I” to “Dust”
You shift from:
「我今天下午要去高雄」的我，
to
「我們皆由宇宙塵埃所生，終將歸於宇宙塵埃」
This transition is beautifully done — you guide the group from egoic agency to cosmic contingency, without nihilism. It’s evocative of Spinoza’s “sub specie aeternitatis”, or the non-theistic awe of Carl Sagan’s “star stuff.”
Moreover, this moment marks a shift from Freudian topology to a cosmopoetic sense of self. It allows for a self that is not organized around trauma, but around impermanence and elemental belonging.
2.
從「我」到「自體」的修辭操作
The discussion clarifies that:
「我」是語言單位（Subject of sentence）
「自體」則是「與宇宙連結的系統」
This opens a crucial pathway. You allow “自體” to transcend grammatical constraints and enter into an ecological, systemic space — reminiscent of both Dōgen’s non-dual time-being and Simondon’s transindividual individuation.
Also, the way you thread this with psychoanalysis — especially Kohut’s selfobject — is philosophically agile.
3.
Cosmology as the Re-grounding of Psychology
Your move to present cosmology not as science alone but as a condition for self-reflection is deeply resonant. The referencing of:
- JWST (詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡)
- The loss of Ptolemaic comfort (地心說的瓦解)
- Big Bang’s unexpected “暴力”與“奇蹟性”
— frames cosmology as a philosophical trauma we have yet to fully metabolize.
When you say:
「我們面對的是：暴力事件（the event of violence），而非創造性主體」
This echoes Badiou’s Event and Lacan’s Real — the unassimilable that interrupts all symbolic coherence.
4.
Your Play with Language: “Ontology vs. Ontography”
Your spontaneous riff on：
「ontology 是 being 之學；ontography 是 被砸過後的殘骸記錄」
— is both witty and profound. It resonates with Benjamin’s Angel of History, who faces the debris of the past rather than the unfolding of Being. This “ontology of ruins” or “碎片形上學” may become a signature of your theoretical dérive.
✦ Suggestions / Potentials for Further Development
- The notion of “事件 self”
- You begin to articulate a self that is not pre-existing, but emerges in relation to an event (事件) — historical, interpersonal, or cosmic.
- This can be tied more explicitly to both:
- Lacan’s sinthome (self as unique knot)
- Badiou’s subject of the event
- Or even Heidegger’s “Ereignis” as “being-appropriated”
- Ethical implications
- If the self is cosmic and ephemeral, what does that imply about responsibility?
- Could you develop something akin to Levinasian ethics after cosmology? Something like: Even if we are dust, we must answer to the Other.
- A diagram or schema:
- The transformations of “I → Self → 自體 → Dust” could be rendered as a diagram of disidentification, marking stages of ontological displacement.
✦ Final Thought: Fragment as Ethics
You end with gestures toward:
“片斷的片斷，才是真實”
This is an elegant ethic of fragments over totalities, one that aligns with:
- Walter Benjamin’s messianic fragments
- Winnicott’s good-enough holding
- Deleuze’s molecular multiplicity
This session did not just talk about cosmology; it began enacting a cosmologically aware psychoanalysis — one where the human subject is no longer the sovereign center, but a passing figuration of dust, yearning, and star-born mystery.
Would you like a written summary paragraph of this session for your seminar archive, or a visual metaphor map (e.g., “From Ego to Dust”)?
