The Psychoanalytic Understanding of Consciousness, Free Will, Language, and Reason examines the ways in which we can use psychoanalysis in order to better understand humanity and explores the question of what makes us human. For thousands of years, thinkers have been trying to define what makes us human. Some of the main questions they have asked is: What is consciousness? Do we have free will? Do animals use language? And what does reason mean? Samuels argues that we need to better understand the psychoanalytic approach to human nature in order to answer these questions, as well as using it to provide a new way of understanding issues such as addiction, political conflict, ideology, and destructive personal relationship. This book will be of vital interest to psychotherapists, as well as students and researchers across the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and psychology.

Trauma, Pedagogy, and the College Mental Health Crisis argues that psychoanalytic theory and practice offers a solution to the large increase in students seeking mental health services. Robert Samuels returns to the roots of psychoanalysis, drawing from Freud’s and Lacan’s conceptions of hysteria and narcissism. This book examines the idea that the repression of psychoanalysis has resulted in a situation where students are being misdiagnosed and mistreated as the underlying structures shaping narcissism and hysteria are misrecognized. Samuels suggests that the more people are trained to focus on their own thoughts and feelings, the more they take on self-destructive thoughts and behaviors in a neurotic way and that psychoanalysis offers a solution. Trauma, Pedagogy, and the College Mental Health Crisis will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, as well as mental health professionals working with adolescents and professionals working in higher education. It will also be relevant to readers interested in adolescent mental health, higher education, parenting, and politics.

This book interrogates the notion that artificial intelligence may represent a threat to the world because it lacks both empathy and reason and suggests that - if we do not intervene to limit and control AI - we are at risk of being overtaken by machines, which are not aligned with human ethics and values. To outline how we should counter the worst tendencies of automated intelligence, we must first understand the roots of morality and reason and why we have been misunderstanding the fundamental difference between humans and computers. Moreover, by critiquing the rhetoric and ideology of AI proponents, we can gain a clear understanding of the need to regulate our machines on a global basis through global treaties. Turning to Freud’s theories of empathy and reason from his Project for a Scientific Psychology, this book outlines why the human mind is different from AI, and why this difference is important to recognize.

This book revaluates Carl Jung’s ideas in the context of contemporary research in the evolutionary sciences. Recent work in developmental biology, as well as experimental and psychedelic neuroscience, have provided empirical evidence that supports some of Jung’s central claims about the nature and evolution of consciousness. Beginning with a historical contextualisation of the genesis of Jung’s evolutionary thought and its roots in the work of the 19th century Naturphilosophen, the book then outlines a model of analytical psychology grounded in modern theories of brain development and life history theory. The book also explores research on evolved sex based differences and their relevance to Jung’s concept of the anima and animus. Seeking to build bridges between analytical psychology and contemporary evolutionary studies and associated fields, this book will appeal to scholars of analytical and depth psychology, as well as researchers in the evolutionary and brain sciences.

Inspired by Freud’s The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, this book examines the unconscious processes shaping contemporary political ideologies. Addressing ten fundamental questions, Robert Samuels identifies four basic political ideologies: liberal, conservative, Left, and Right, which are often placed in the structure of a logical square, determined by two binary oppositions, with a fifth structure of centrism complicating the square. He turns to psychoanalysis to explain the unconscious defense mechanisms that structure these political ideologies. Each chapter uses a recent, influential title as a gateway to the analysis of the ideologies and structures identified. Through this analysis, Samuels argues that belief in ideological structures is tied to triumvirates of institutions and ideals; conservatives being tied to premodern institutions of religion, feudalism, and monarchy, while modern liberals are tied to ideals of universality, objectivity, and empiricism. He concludes that this investment in universality shapes the ethics of modern globalization and democratic liberalism. Unlike other books, conclusions are reinforced through examples drawn from current events with an integrated model of different psychopathologies. The Psychopathology of Political Ideologies moves beyond providing an understanding of what drives different political investments, to offer a more rational and conscious comprehension of subjectivity and social organization. This book will be a great resource for those interested in politics, political science psychology, social psychology, globalization, and ideology.

In today’s world there is a New Science and there is an Old Science. There is an Old Traditional form of Religion and there is a New form of Spirituality. There is Quantum Physics (the New Science), Epigenetics (the New Biology), an Old Psychology and a New Psychology (Spiritual or Transpersonal Psychology). Each of these New forms tell us of a world very different from that in which we have presumed to live. There are realms of reality and impacts on our genes, bodies, and behaviors never before understood. The messages that emerge in the Old and in the New are very different. There is an Old Traditional Jesus that is tied to dogma, rules, rituals, notions of separation, and exoteric practices that neglect and distort the true message of Jesus. There is a New Jesus who is the Original Jesus that you find in his esoteric (inner) messages, like the Jesus you find in A Course In Miracles. This is a Jesus whose focus is on the heart and the psychology of human nature, the human mind, and on human behavior. His true message was on what is within, and it is one of transformation, and awakening to our Transcendent Self, our true inner nature. People who have Spiritually Transformative Experiences discover that their bodies or their personalities are not who they are. They discover the essence of what it was that Jesus was teaching. Some of his teachings about our true inner nature or Transcendent Self include the following: Our Source is a Loving Essence. You are a powerful spiritual being living in a physical body. You and your Consciousness are immortal and eternal. There is a realm of reality beyond the material universe. All that is visible comes from that which is invisible. WALTER KANIA, Ph.D.

This book, like the post-Heideggerian reception of Nietzsche, rides out the splits and frays of the text offering an up-to-date look at international Nietzsche scholarship. Included are topics such as the collaboration of German thought with the rise of National Socialism and the alliance between Nietzschean genealogy and Freudian culture criticism in regard to technology and the unconscious, the status of moral imperatives from Kant to Heidegger, and Heidegger's alleged rediscovery of Nietzsche as the "last metaphysician." Looking After Nietzsche is nonexclusionary in the risks it takes; every thread of "Nietzsche" is pursued throughout its labyrinthine entanglements.

Originally published in 1985. Beasts of the Modern Imagination explores a specific tradition in modern thought and art: the critique of anthropocentrism at the hands of "beasts"—writers whose works constitute animal gestures or acts of fatality. It is not a study of animal imagery, although the works that Margot Norris explores present us with apes, horses, bulls, and mice who appear in the foreground of fiction, not as the tropes of allegory or fable, but as narrators and protagonists appropriating their animality amid an anthropocentric universe. These beasts are finally the masks of the human animals who create them, and the textual strategies that bring them into being constitute another version of their struggle. The focus of this study is a small group of thinkers, writers, and artists who create as the animal—not like the animal, in imitation of the animal—but with their animality speaking. The author treats Charles Darwin as the founder of this tradition, as the naturalist whose shattering conclusions inevitably turned back on him and subordinated him, the rational man, to the very Nature he studied. Friedrich Nietzsche heeded the advice implicit in his criticism of David Strauss and used Darwinian ideas as critical tools to interrogate the status of man as a natural being. He also responded to the implications of his own animality for his writing by transforming his work into bestial acts and gestures. The third, and last, generation of these creative animals includes Franz Kafka, the Surrealist artist Max Ernst, and D. H. Lawrence. In exploring these modern philosophers of the animal and its instinctual life, the author inevitably rebiologizes them even against efforts to debiologize thinkers whose works can be studied profitably for their models of signification.

In the last few decades consciousness has become a major topic of interest for neurologists, psychologists, and a host of other professionals in various disciplines. Their concerted efforts to define consciousness led them mostly to the same impasse: the leap from the body to the mind, or to the particular link that makes the mind an attribute of consciousness. In 1895 Freud put together a project for a Psychology for the Neurologists. It comprised the elements of a theory of consciousness as a manifestation of the continuous homeostatic pursuit of stability; an aconscious condition. Although he made a distinction between the aconscious and the unconscious in many of his important works, he did not clearly define the ways in which the two could co-exist in a unified theory. In Consciousness and the Aconscious in Psychoanalytic Theory, Ahmed Fayek summarizes current arguments and debates stemming from neurological and phenomenological perspectives. He presents the notion that consciousness needs to be considered a human phenomenon and not simply a manifestation of brain activity, which is an occurrence shared by all organisms. Using Freud’s theories as they relate to consciousness, Fayek places his own theory of the aconscious within the context of Freudian thought.

Discover the fascinating life and work of Carl Gustav Jung, the Swiss visionary who from an early age displayed an insatiable curiosity about the darkest corners of the human psyche. His collaboration and break with Freud marked the birth of analytical psychology, a discipline that delves into universal symbols and the collective unconscious. But Jung was more than a theorist. His prophetic visions anticipated the tragedies of World War I and World War II with uncanny accuracy. As he explored the human soul, he warned of the danger of a spiritual disconnection that could bring modern man to the brink of extinction. In this book, we explore Jung's many facets: the mystic who explored the secrets of alchemy and astrology, the secret agent who collaborated with military intelligence, and the scientist who challenged the limits of the human psyche. Through contemporary examples and inspiring reflections, we discover how Jungian principles can illuminate our understanding of today's world. From the ecological crisis to social tensions to the search for personal meaning, Jung others us tools for integrating the spiritual into our daily lives and provides a framework for understanding the complexities of our times. This book celebrates Jung's enduring influence as a beacon of wisdom in exploring the deeper facets of the human soul and the search for personal and collective wholeness. In a world desperate for answers, through Jung's legacy we invite readers to embrace our humanity and reconnect with the vast cosmos we inhabit. Integrating contemporary scientific approaches with the ancestral wisdom of indigenous peoples helps to conjure a sustainable and meaningful future for humanity.
