Philosophy suffers from an far more than convoluted introspection. One result's that options multiply unchecked. That a few occasions have observable reasons will get reified right into a First reason or, in a extra secular age, to the thesis that each occasion is fatalistically made up our minds. one other obstacle of convoluted introspection is that tiny yet the most important assumptions slip in, usually unawares, with the end result that densely argued counter-tomes are written in answer and no growth is made towards any form of consensus.

I will make two more remarks to conclude on the imaginary status of the loved other. The psychical mirror of the image of the loved one in my unconscious must not be conceived of as the smooth surface of a lens, but as a mirror broken up into small, mobile fragments of glass on which confused images of the other and of myself are reflected. The advantage of such a kaleidoscopic allegory is that it shows us that the unconscious image that we have of the loved one is a fragmented mirror and that the images that are reflected there are always partial and mobile.
It is not only an intrasubjective formation but also intersubjective. Let us put this in a different way. The loved one is a part of us that we refer to as an “unconscious fantasy”; but this part is not confined to the interior of our individuality, it extends into the space of the in-between (entre-deux) and attaches us intimately to his or her person. Reciprocally, the loved one is also inhabited by a fantasy that represents us in his or her unconscious and attaches him or her to our person. ” This is what I want to say: the fantasy and more generally the unconscious that it manifests is a 36 THE BOOK OF LOVE AND PAIN psychic structure, a complex edifice that stands, invisible, in the space of the in-between and rests on foundations of living bodies of the partners.
We can put it in a different way. If the insatisfaction is present, but bearable, desire remains active and the psychic system remains stable. If, on the contrary, the satisfaction is excessive, or if the insatisfaction has no limit, desire loses its axis and pain surges. We find again here the hypothesis that permeates our text. Namely, that pain expresses the turbulence of the drives in the domain of the Id. A certain degree of insatisfaction is thus vital for us in order to conserve our psychical stability.
