Abstract

GONZALEZ, Fernando Manuel. Some of the paradoxes of believing: a psychoanalytic, sociologic and anthropologic perspective. Cultura representaciones soc [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.24, pp.131-195. ISSN 2007-8110.  https://doi.org/10.28965/2018-024-05.

What I aim to analyze with this text are some of the diverse ways to believe and the illusion in politics, and their relationship with the invisible. To establish a difference between the Faith and certain types of beliefs that are encompassed within what Regis Debray calls the “human communions”, which necessarily imply some sort of transcendence.
