THE “SHIMMERING CONCEPT” OF L. WITTGENSTEIN AND THE HERMENEUTICS OF FRAGMENTS IN C. JUNG’S “VISIONS”

V. Vinokurov, M. Vorontsova

Abstract

The questions of research and application of the creative heritage of L.Wittgenstein remain insufficiently studied. The report formulates the conditions for communication between the autonomous figures of the dream, including its subject. These conditions are necessary in the process of understanding and integrating the unconscious contents in the “my world”. The aim of this research is to create an analytic model for the functional structures of dream images, the logic of events and transformations. The hypothesis of the research: the relation “of the autonomous figures of dreams” to “Ego” equals one of the relations in psychotherapeutic practices. For describing the contradiction Wittgenstein suggests a peculiar “shimmering concept” and function of symmetrical structure: F(F), where F(?) = – ?(?). This report attempts to apply Wittgenstein's meta-function F(F) to the analysis of communication of autonomous dream figures. The study applies the method of geometrization (image) for logical structures and functional-typological and logical analysis to the clarification of the clinical case of “Visions” by C.Jung. The results are the development of methods for the philosophical analysis to the practices of psychotherapy.
