Psychopathology of Everyday Life - Enriched edition Revealing the Unconscious: Freudian Psychology in Daily Life

Sigmund Freud

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "Psychopathology of Everyday Life," Sigmund Freud meticulously explores the interplay between the unconscious mind and everyday behaviors, presenting a groundbreaking analysis of slips of the tongue, forgotten names, and mundane actions. Employing a blend of clinical case studies, introspective analysis, and theoretical discourse, Freud elucidates how these seemingly trivial incidents reveal deeper psychological conflicts and desires. Written in a clear yet incisive literary style, the text serves as a cornerstone for psychoanalytic theory, positioning personal experiences within a broader context of human psychology, all while challenging the conventional understanding of sanity and expression in turn-of-the-century Vienna. Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, derived insights for this seminal work from his extensive clinical practice and familiarity with contemporary psychological discussions. Born in 1856 in Austria, Freud's revolutionary ideas emerged from an era that grappled with the complexities of the human psyche. His innovative theories were influenced by his studies in neurology, the prevailing philosophical currents of his time, and a profound interest in the unconscious, which shaped his lifelong dedication to uncovering the hidden motivations behind human behavior. "Psychopathology of Everyday Life" is indispensable for anyone seeking to comprehend the intricate links between everyday occurrences and our internal psyches. Freud's groundbreaking examination remains relevant, offering profound insights for psychology students, literary scholars, and general readers alike. Engaging with this work provides a meaningful exploration into the depths of human behavior, inviting readers to reflect on their own unconscious processes.

When Science Meets Power - 1st...

Geoff Mulgan

Science and politics have collaborated throughout human history and science is repeatedly invoked today in political debates, from pandemic management to climate change. 
 
 
 
Leading policy analyst Geoff Mulgan here calls attention to the growing frictions caused by the expanding—and unsolicited—authority being heaped upon science. As science increasingly competes with politics, a defined plan of cooperation is urgently needed. 
 
 
 
Mulgan outlines science and politics as two distinct, imperfect forms of collective intelligence. Whereas science is ordered around what we know and what is, politics engages what we feel and what matters. Politics functions because it recognizes the limits of power, the need for delegation and expert advice. The intellectual logic of science, on the other hand, focuses on detail and depth, struggling to place its knowledge in wider contexts. The crux of the matter, Mulgan argues, is how can we ensure that crucial decisions taken in democracies are both well informed and legitimate? 
 
 
 
Rooted in understanding that science and politics are not just fields of ideas but also fields of action, this book proposes ways to ensure that the two work effectively together.

The Bodhisattva Concept

A.G.S. Kariyawasam

This is a Pariyatti audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 157, "The Bodhisattva Concept" by A.G.S. Kariyawasam found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. V.
 
Excerpt from The Bodhisattva Concept:
 
In original Pali Buddhism, the term bodhisatta is used more or less exclusively to designate Gautama Buddha prior to his enlightenment.
 
'The concept of bodhisattva, along with that of Buddha and of the cakravartin (world-ruler), was in vogue in India even before the appearance of Gautama Buddha. When Prince Siddhārtha, who later became Gautama Buddha, took conception in the womb of Queen Māyā, a seer predicted that Suddhodana’s future son would be either a world-ruler (cakravartin) or a Buddha. Once, answering a question by a brahmin, the Buddha himself admitted that he is neither a god nor a yakkha, but a Buddha, meaning thereby one of a succession of Buddhas (A II 38).

Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto...

Hitori-Nakamoto

Genghis Khan by Hitori-Nakamoto 
In the expansive landscape of human history, few figures loom as large as Genghis Khan. His name conjures up deeply polarized images - brutal warrior, visionary leader, ruthless conqueror, and inspired empire-builder. By charting his early life and improbable rise to power, this book aims to provide insight into the experiences that forged this polarizing, larger-than-life figure.  
  
Rising from obscurity on the harsh Mongolian steppe, Genghis Khan would establish the largest contiguous land empire the world had ever seen. At its peak, this empire stretched from Eastern Europe to the Sea of Japan, encompassing illustrious cities like Beijing, Kabul and Baghdad within its realm. His vision of empire, his mastery of cavalry warfare, and his skill at uniting fractious nomads under his banner transformed medieval Eurasia forever. 
  
To comprehend the genesis of this world-changing figure, we must explore his early life and the tribulations that steeled his unyielding ambition. Born as Temüjin around 1162 CE into an atmosphere of tribal warfare, betrayal and blood feuds, his childhood was dramatically reshaped by the poisoning death of his father, leaving his family abandoned and destitute. As explored in Chapter 1, these experiences of loss and humiliation fostered in Temüjin a dream of uniting the perpetually warring Mongols into a single people.
