Abstract

The article addresses the cynicism of the authoritarian anthropological type on The Authoritarian Personality in homology with the fetishism described by Freud. Metapsychologically, we work on the ego-synthesis and ego-splitting problems, in addition to the superego externalization. As a massed and enlightened subject, the assumption of contradictory moral discourses in the same psychic structure would enable a maintenance of prejudice and authoritarianism in democratic environments through
rationalizations.
