Stimulated by the challenging and accurate article by Stefano Fissi (2024), who draws on the lat-est works by Anil Seth and Mark Solms to address much-discussed topics in the current phase of the debate on the possibility of a mutual validation between cognitive neuroscience and psychoa-nalysis, some fundamental themes are discussed, indicating epistemological problems and under-standable argumentative weaknesses.
