An interesting though on method

From A few remarks on the method of Jacques Rancière by Jacques Rancière.

A method means a path: not the path that a thinker follows but the path that he/she constructs, that you have to construct to know where you are, to figure out the characteristics of the territory you are going through, the places it allows you to go, the way it obliges you to move, the markers that can help you, the obstacles that get in the way.

Reading this, I thought that psychoanalysis may be seen as one way to discover or create a new method of living with one's jouissance, or as the creation of a new path through the inevitable difficulties of being a human being (i.e., a speaking body) who experiences a powerful jouissance within the social order that is the time/place where the body lives.
