Is the Primal Parricide Part of the Innate Foundation of the Human Species? An Epistemological Note

17
The author explores the universality of the primal parricide that Freud identifies with a primal fantasy that characterises the human species. Observing both the oedipal construction of the primal parricide, connected with the castration problematic, and the correlative absence of a specifically paternal figure in the psychotic fantasmatic, concentrated on a phallic mother figure, leads to the conclusion that parricide must be restricted to the neurotic domain. It then loses the claimed universality in the name of which Freud makes it a primal fantasy that characterises the innate foundation of the human species.
