On love, hate and knowledge

Pages 697-712 | Accepted 10 Dec 2008, Published online: 31 Dec 2017
 

Abstract

In this short theoretical paper, I discuss Bion’s three relations of love, hate, and knowledge, using Peirce’s semiotic theory of relations and Bakhtin’s semiotic/philosophical writings. Reading Bion through the prism of these resources allows us to better understand the meaning and ontogenesis of the basic relations and to examine their clinical explanatory value.
