Irrationality and the Philosophy of Psychoanalysis

Viac o knihe

Exploring the roots of irrationality, the author delves into Freud and Klein's theories to address key questions about the nature of the mind and self-awareness. He challenges the notion of the unconscious as a separate entity, proposing instead that it harbors irrational desires that manifest through wish-fulfillment and fantasy. By linking psychoanalytic theory to everyday psychology, he counters skepticism and highlights the relevance of these concepts in understanding human behavior.
