Abstract

In the early 30s Salvador Dalí begins to outline his paranoic-critical method, which will emerge with all its characteristics in the essay titled The Tragic Myth of Angelus.
The first stages in the formulation of a "method of reasoning delirium" are in the tune with the exploration of the creative aspects of psycosis which, at the time, was sustained by Jacques Lacan in the same publication: Minotaure.
This essay aims at explaining the rich dialectic which confronted the pair Dalí/Lacan with each other, and the two of them with the approaches supported by Freudian orthodoxy.
