Pensiero monodico, pensiero binario e terzità nella società ipermoderna.

Starting from some singer-songwriter’s lyrics and from a novelist’s book, the author analyses the most recurring forms of thought in the hyper-modern society: the binary thought, based on a Schizoid-paranoid logic, and the monodic thought. The binary thought leads the person to a choice between two alternative options, opposed at a first glance, but which in fact legitimise each other and leave out any third option. The monadic thought is the psychic reflection of the lacanian «capitalist discourse» and it keeps the subject into a spiral of «jouissance», which is opposed to desire and from which it is impossible to get out. They are two dynamics of thought flattening the mind, impeding the mentalization, crystallizing the intrapsychic and intersubjective fields and, in the political sphere, depriving the democracy of its real sense.
