Book Synopsis Kant's Philosophy of the Unconscious by : Piero Giordanetti
Download or read book Kant's Philosophy of the Unconscious written by Piero Giordanetti and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unconscious raises relevant problems in the theory of knowledge as regards non-conceptual contents and obscure representations. In the philosophy of mind, it bears on the topic of the unity of consciousness and the notion of the transcendental Self. It is a key-topic of logic with respect to the distinction between determinate-indeterminate judgments and prejudices, and in aesthetics it appears in connection with the problems of reflective judgments and of the genius. Finally, it is a relevant issue also in moral philosophy in defining the irrational aspects of the human being. The purpose of the present volume is to fill a substantial gap in Kant research while offering a comprehensive survey of the topic in different areas of research, such as history of philosophy, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, moral philosophy, and anthropology.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer by : Christopher Janaway
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Schopenhauer written by Christopher Janaway and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860) is something of a maverick figure in the history of philosophy. He produced a unique theory of the world and human existence based upon his notion of will. This collection analyses the related but distinct components of will from the point of view of epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, aesthetics, ethics, and the philosophy of psychoanalysis. This volume explores Schopenhauer's philosophy of death, his relationship to the philosophy of Kant, his use of ideas drawn from both Buddhism and Hinduism, and the important influence he exerted on Nietzsche, Freud, and Wittgenstein.
Book Synopsis Deleuze and the Unconscious by : Christian Kerslake
Download or read book Deleuze and the Unconscious written by Christian Kerslake and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2007-03-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the twentieth century, it had been almost forgotten that the Freudian account of the unconscious was only one of many to have emerged from the intellectual ferment of the second half of the 19th century. The philosophical roots of the concept of the unconscious in Leibniz, Kant, Schelling and Schopenhauer had also been occluded from view by the dominance of Freudianism. From his earliest work of the 1940s until his final writings of the 1990s, Gilles Deleuze stood at odds with this dominant current, rejecting Freud as sole source for ideas about the unconscious. This most 'contemporary' of French philosophers acted as custodian of all the ideas that had been rejected by the proponents of the psychoanalytic model, carefully preserving them and, when possible, injecting them with new life. In 1950s and 60s Deleuze turned to Henri Bergson's theories of memory and instinct and to Carl Jung's theory of archetypes. In Difference and Repetition (1968) he conceived of a 'differential unconscious' based on Leibnizian principles. He was also immersed from the beginning in esoteric and occult ideas about the nature of the mind. Deleuze and the Unconscious shows how these tendencies combine in Deleuze's work to engender a wholly new approach to the unconscious, for which active relations to the unconscious are just as important as the better known pathologies of neurosis and psychosis.

Book Synopsis Psychology as Ethics by : Giovanni Colacicchi
Download or read book Psychology as Ethics written by Giovanni Colacicchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through his clinical work and extensive engagement with major figures of the philosophical tradition, Jung developed an original and pluralistic psycho-ethical model based on the cooperation of consciousness with the unconscious mind. By drawing on direct quotations from Jung’s collected works, The Red Book, and his interviews and seminars – as well as from seminal texts by Kant, Nietzsche, Aristotle and Augustine – Giovanni Colacicchi provides a philosophically grounded analysis of the ethical relevance of Jung’s analytical psychology and of the concept of individuation which is at its core. The author argues that Jung transforms Kant’s consciousness of duty into the duty to be conscious while also endorsing Nietzsche’s project of an individual ethics beyond collective morality. Colacicchi shows that Jung is concerned, like Aristotle, with the human need to acquire a balance between reason and emotions; and that Jung puts forward, with his understanding of the shadow, a moral psychology of the Christian notion of evil. Jung’s psycho-ethical paradigm is thus capable of integrating ethical theories which are often read as mutually exclusive. Psychology as Ethics will be of interest to researchers in the history of ideas and the philosophy of the unconscious, as well as to therapists and counsellors who wish to place their psychodynamic work in its philosophical context. It will also be a key reference for undergraduate and postgraduate courses and seminars in Jungian and Post-Jungian studies, philosophy, psychoanalytic studies, psychology, religious studies and the social sciences.

Book Synopsis I, Me, Mine by : Béatrice Longuenesse
Download or read book I, Me, Mine written by Béatrice Longuenesse and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beatrice Longuenesse presents an original exploration of our understanding of ourselves and the way we talk about ourselves. In the first part of the book she discusses contemporary analyses of our use of "I" in language and thought, and compares them to Kant's account of self-consciousness,especially the type of self-consciousness expressed in the proposition "I think." According to many contemporary philosophers, necessarily, any instance of our use of "I" is backed by our consciousness of our own body. For Kant, in contrast, "I think" just expresses our consciousness of beingengaged in bringing rational unity into the contents of our mental states. In the second part of the book, Longuenesse analyzes the details of Kant's view and argues that contemporary discussions in philosophy and psychology stand to benefit from Kant's insights into self-consciousness and the unityof consciousness. The third and final part of the book outlines similarities between Kant's view of the structure of mental life grounding our uses of "I" in "I think" and in the moral "I ought to," on the one hand; and Freud's analysis of the organizations of mental processes he calls "ego" and"superego" on the other hand. Longuenesse argues that Freudian metapsychology offers a path to a naturalization of Kant's transcendental view of the mind. It offers a developmental account of the normative capacities that ground our uses of "I," which Kant thought could not be accounted for withoutappealing to a world of pure intelligences, distinct from the empirical, natural world of physical entities.

Book Synopsis Thinking the Unconscious by : Angus Nicholls
Download or read book Thinking the Unconscious written by Angus Nicholls and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Freud's earliest psychoanalytic theorization around the beginning of the twentieth century, the concept of the unconscious has exerted an enormous influence upon psychoanalysis and psychology, and literary, critical and social theory. Yet, prior to Freud, the concept of the unconscious already possessed a complex genealogy in nineteenth-century German philosophy and literature, beginning with the aftermath of Kant's critical philosophy and the origins of German idealism, and extending into the discourses of romanticism and beyond. Despite the many key thinkers who contributed to the Germanic discourses on the unconscious, the English-speaking world remains comparatively unaware of this heritage and its influence upon the origins of psychoanalysis. Bringing together a collection of experts in the fields of German Studies, Continental Philosophy, the History and Philosophy of Science, and the History of Psychoanalysis, this volume examines the various theorizations, representations, and transformations undergone by the concept of the unconscious in nineteenth-century German thought.
Book Synopsis The Dark Ground of Spirit by : S. J. McGrath
Download or read book The Dark Ground of Spirit written by S. J. McGrath and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The romantic origins of psychoanalysis are a hot topic at the moment. No one has yet examined Schelling's role in this history This book includes all relevant secondary material, including some quite recent publications (so it is very up-to-date); the writing is clear and justifiably authoritative Reviewers have suggested that Routledge has published one of the best discussions of Schelling in English to date (Andrew Bowie's Schelling and Modern European Philosophy), so this is a good fit with our list.
Book Synopsis The Unconscious and Eduard von Hartmann by : Dennis N Kenedy Darnoi
Download or read book The Unconscious and Eduard von Hartmann written by Dennis N Kenedy Darnoi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No man can live without ideas, for every human action, internal or external, is of necessity enacted by virtue of certain ideas. In these ideas a man believes; they guide his actions, and ultimately his whole life. Study of these ideas and principles is one of the distinctive tasks of the history of philosophy. But were we to restrict the field of interest of the history of philosophy to a mere detached academic "cataloguing" of past ideas, the history of philosophy itself would have joined long ago the interminable line of barren catalogued ideas. The study of the wisdom of past ages, however, is very much alive. Not only is it alive, but in the words ot Wilhelm Dilthey: "What man is, he learns through history. "l Thus, the culture of every generation is inevitably related, whether thetically or antithetically, to the previous one, and the politi cal and economic struggles of any present are always the consequences of an earlier and perhaps even fiercer battle of ideas. I t is imperative to know the history of the philosophies that nourish the present if we wish to know ourselves and the world about us. The Socratic call to self-knowledge is as indispensable a condition of a truly human existence today as it was in the fifth century B. C.
Book Synopsis The Jouissance Principle by : Christian Fierens
Download or read book The Jouissance Principle written by Christian Fierens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concept of jouissance, a Lacanian term that refers to enjoyment experienced in different ways, from the enjoyment taken in an action that is ethically disapproved to the hidden pleasure taken by the patient in and from his symptom. Christian Fierens offers a new and rigorous explanation of jouissance as a third principle in the functioning of the unconscious, in addition to the technical and pleasure principles. The Jouissance Principle presents a detailed cross-reading of two key works: Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and Lacan’s paper ‘Kant with Sade’, explaining how the functioning of the unconscious is a genuinely ethical process. The book also focuses on the role of psychoanalysis in relaunching the functioning of the unconscious, outlining the fourth form of Lacan’s object a and its stakes in the psychoanalytic process. An intriguing discussion of the relationship between pleasure, ethics and rationality, The Jouissance Principle will interest scholars of psychoanalysis and European philosophy, as well as helping clinicians to find a practical and ethical pathway through their practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that Hegel conceives of history as the gradual process of rational thought and of forms of political life. But he is usually thought to place himself at the end of this process. This book argues that an essential part of Hegel's historical-political thinking has escaped the notice of its interpreters.
Book Synopsis On the Freedom of the Human Will by : Arthur Schopenhauer
Download or read book On the Freedom of the Human Will written by Arthur Schopenhauer and published by Newcomb Livraria Press. This book was released on with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new 2023 translation from the original German 1839 "Über die Freiheit des menschlichen Willens" manuscript, with a new Afterword by the Translator. Schopenhauer's "On the Freedom of the Human Will" is a seminal work where Schopenhauer expounds on his deterministic view of human agency. He vehemently rejects the notion of free will, arguing that human actions are governed by the causal chain of events and the underlying will. This work represents Schopenhauer's vigorous defense of his philosophical stance against the prevailing belief in human autonomy. His critique of free will has inspired philosophical debates that continue to this day, impacting disciplines such as moral psychology, neuroscience, and jurisprudence. Schopenhauer's argument for determinism challenges conventional notions of personal responsibility and has profound implications for our understanding of human behavior and moral accountability.
