Abstract

This article intends, from the Freudian’s elaboration about mental apparatus, to discuss the concept of thought, it means, based on unconscious conception which is present since Freud’s earlier works, he has as an issue not only the rational capacity attributed to the human being, deduced from the Cartesian “I think” but also from the theorical thinking. After explaining the mental apparatus work as the same time as language and memory to Freud. We will seek to situate what we call as reason, knowing capacity or scientific domain that comes from the effects of unconscious thought. Based on that, we highlight the fact that when Freud developed his concept of the unconscious, he took it as a mean to present a private structure that precedes, covers and justifies such capacities and don’t indicate the lack of conscious and mental phenomenon. To do so, we start from the conception that the language apparatus does not match with the idea of an apparatus constructed to language but constructed by language this apparatus does not exist without language and its speakers.
