Beyond the Pleasure Principle

Siegmund Freud

Beschreibung

In "Beyond the Pleasure Principle," Sigmund Freud embarks on a profound exploration of the human psyche, challenging the foundational tenets of his earlier theories centered around the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. Freud's distinctive literary style combines clinical precision with philosophical inquiry, employing a rich tapestry of case studies, dream analysis, and cultural reflections. This groundbreaking work introduces the controversial concept of the death drive, suggesting that human behavior is not solely motivated by the desire for pleasure but also by an intrinsic pull toward self-destruction and repetition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century psychoanalysis, this text calls into question the very nature of human motivation and the complexities of the unconscious mind. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was profoundly influenced by his observations of patients and the cultural shifts of his time. His academic background in neurology and his pioneering work in understanding the unconscious drove him to probe deeper into the human condition. "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" reflects his intellectual evolution as he confronts the limitations of earlier theories, offering a more nuanced understanding of the intricacies of human behavior and motivation. This seminal text is an essential read for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, or literature, as it challenges our understanding of human desire and the conflicts that shape our lives. Freud's insights offer a window into the complexities of the human experience, making this book not only a pivotal work in psychoanalysis but also a philosophical treatise that resonates across disciplines.

There Is No Blue

Martha Baillie

WINNER OF THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION 
THE GLOBE AND MAIL: BOOKS TO READ IN FALL 2023 
THE GLOBE AND MAIL BEST 100 BOOKS OF 2023 
CBC BOOKS BEST CANADIAN NONFICTION OF 2023 
Martha Baillie’s richly layered response to her mother’s passing, her father's life, and her sister’s suicide is an exploration of how the body, the rooms we inhabit, and our languages offer the psyche a home, if only for a time.  
Three essays, three deaths. The first is the death of the author’s mother, a protracted disappearance, leaving space for thoughtfulness and ritual: the washing of her body, the making of a death mask. The second considers the author’s father, his remoteness, his charm, a lacuna at the centre of the family even before his death, earlier than her mother’s. And then, the shocking death of the author’s sister, a visual artist and writer living with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, who writes three reasons to die on her bedroom wall and then takes her life. 
"Martha Baillie’s novels are thrillingly, joyously singular, that rare combination of sui generis and just plain generous. That There Is No Blue, her memoir, is all of those things too, is no surprise; still, she has gone somewhere extraordinary. This triptych of essays, which exquisitely unfolds the “disobedient tale” of the lives and deaths of her mother, her father, and her sister, is a meditation on the mystery and wonder of grief and art making and home and memory itself. It made me think of kintsugi, the Japanese art of repair, in which the mending is not hidden but featured and beautifully illuminated. Baillie’s variety of attention, carved out of language, is tenderness, is love." – Maud Casey, author of City of Incurable Women 
"This is a stunning memoir, intense and meticulous in its observations of family life. Baillie subtly interrogates and conveys the devastating mistranslations that take place in childhood, the antagonism and porousness of siblings,  and the tragedy of schizophrenia as it unfolds.  I couldn’t put it down." – Dr. Lisa Appignanesi, author of Mad, Bad and Sad and Everyday Madness 
"Exquisite." – Souvankham Thammavongsa, author of How to Pronounce Knife 
"I am grateful for this profound meditation on family and loss.” – Charlie Kaufman, filmmaker 
"This strange, unsettling memoir of outer life and inner life and their bizarre twining captures the author’s identity by way of her mother’s death, her sister’s failing battle with mental illness, and the mysterious figure of her father.  It combines anguished guilt, deep tenderness, and bemused affection in highly evocative, often disturbing prose.  Its brave honesty is amplified by a persistent lyricism; its undercurrent of fear is uplifted by a surprising, resilient hopefulness.  It is both a plea for exoneration and an act of exoneration, an authentic meditation on the terrible difficulty of being human." – Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon
