From: Ted Winslow
Psychoanalysis, in versions that treat instinctive violence as
psychopathological (e.g. Melanie Klein's), adds to this idea of
observing things "in their death" the psychological idea that "analysis"
- "dissection" - involving this fallacy is "murderous" ("we murder to
dissect"), an expression of the failure on the part of a relatively weak
unintegrated ego to fully master the ultimate source of "terror" and
instinctive violence, the "death instinct."

CB: I may be admitting that I have a weak, relatively unintegrated ego
are you saying that the ultimate source of "terror" and "instinctive
violence" _is_ the "death instinct" ? or that failure to master the
"death instinct" leads to fallacious analysis ( like the non-holistic
analysis that Engels criticizes) ? that "instinctive violence" is
psychopathological ? or what ?
Is it a "murder instinct" or a "death instinct" ?
P.S. Good to see you bringing Engels to bare on these issues.
