Abstract
Since Freud, we know that different elements can converge into a single element if there is a similarity between them. [...]Matte Blanco suggested that the world of emotion is particularly one of symmetry for it is governed by 'emotional thinking' where an affect and an idea are simply two facets of one and the same movement.
