Abstract

In order to better understand and define the prospect linked, in Massimo Recalcati’s thinking, to sublimation and love of singularity, we will move from a synthetic rebuild of his thesis on the differences between: instinct, impulse, desire and love, and between narcisistic love and possibility of a new idea and erotic experience that is abstract and does not end in the only selfish root of his being. We will then compare the acquisitions of the receipt of the Italian psychoanalyst with the theses of thinkers who in Italian contemporary philosophical tradition developed in particular the concept of singularity. Dialogue between different approaches, the philosophical and psychoanalytic one, that will be useful also to address fundamental anthropological and cultural dynamics of our time.
