The authors take as an example the difficulties biology faces to be recognized as a science in its own right, with the aim of justifying the criteria for a discipline to be considered “science.” They note that what goes under the name of scientific psychology most often relies on a conception of biology that actually derives from false sciences. However, a modern conception of science not only leaves room for psychoanalysis, but also requires a theory of the singular built upon the reality of the subject.
