Abstract

Heidegger was a vehement critic of modern science and psychoanalysis. Winnicott, on the other hand, defines himself as a psychoanalyst who does science. It might therefore seem that the only possible Heideggerian reading of Winnicott would have to say that, like every scientist, the latter objectifies the non-objectifiable, and that, on the other hand, the only appropriate Winnicottian attitude toward Heidegger's existential analytics would be to declare it scientifically irrelevant.
