Opis: Psychoanalytic Knowledge - M Cheung Chung

Freud's influence upon many aspects of our cultures, our ways of thinking and our writings is enormous and pervasive. This book is a collection of essays, written by eminent scholars in the field of the philosophy of psychoanalysis, which present cutting-edge thinking on the nature of psychoanalytic knowledge. The book begins by looking at the influence of Kantian philosophical ideas on the formation of psychoanalytic knowledge and the general relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis. What follows is an examination of the nature of psychoanalytic knowledge in terms of literature on the philosophy of mind. The possiblity of changing oneself through psychoanalytic knowledge undergoes philosophical scrutiny, as does the relationship between religion and psychoanalysis and how psychoanalytic knowledge is relevant to a variety of disciplines including evolutionary science, social/developmental psychology and neuroscience. Attention then shifts to the post-Freudian psychoanalytic knowledge (primarliy object relations theiry and self-psychology), and to methodological issues within psychoanalysis. The arguments put forward are original, engaging and rigorous, and likely to provoke quality debate in the area of the philosophy of psychoanalysis.Acknowledgements Notes on Contributors Examining the Nature of Psychoanalytic Knowledge; M.Cheung Chung Kant and Freud; A.Brook Psychoanalysis as Philosophy, Psychoanalysis as Worldview; C.F.Alford 'Some Unimaginable Substratum': A Contemporary Introduction to Freud's Philosophy of Mind; D.L.Smith Freud and the Neurological Unconscious; G.Gillett The Etiology of Emotion and Ossification of Self: You Can't Change People Because People Don't Change; M.P.Levine The Illusion of a Future; W.D.Hart Emotion, Evolution and Conflict; J.Hopkins Freud, Object Relations, Agency and the Self; T.Pataki Autonomy and the Problem of Suffering: Tragedy and Transcendence in Psychoanalytic Discourse; S.R.Kirschner The Self in Psychoanalysis: Heinz Kohut and Narcissism - A Critique; I.Dilman Challenges to Psychoanalytic Methodology; M.Macmillan Index
