One of the procedures located by Freud starting in his earliest works is to complement the pleasure principle with the principle of reality, the incorporation of which signifies the birth of an active consciousness in the subject, capable of deliberately ruling the processes of subjectivity and paying attention to external reality. This meaningful transformation of our mental system was not, however, studied in detail by the inventor of psychoanalysis. Taking into account the great importance of this biographical milestone for the emergence of rational subjectivity, it is crucial to check in detail the meaning of this transformation, in order to establish a proper basis for our knowledge of this rational ability.Downloads
