Two ontological conceptions of society

Abstract

This paper aims to present the ontological structure of two conceptions of society and its logical and ontological relations, depending on the case, with individuals or individuated individuals. We start with an analysis of the ontological structure of society as conceived by Freud to see the consistency between this structure and that underlying psychopathology. Then we do the same with Winnicott and we show how, sometimes, their statements cannot be taken literally, leading us deeper into the study of his conception of society and the relations it maintains with his Theory of Maturation. It is expected that the comparison of these two models of the ontological structure of society allows us to show the scope oriented understanding of adolescence in this era.
