Irrationality and the Philosophy of Psychoanalysis

More about the book

Exploring the roots of irrationality, the author delves into Freud and Klein's theories to address key questions about the nature of the mind and self-awareness. He challenges the notion of the unconscious as a separate entity, proposing instead that it harbors irrational desires that manifest through wish-fulfillment and fantasy. By linking psychoanalytic theory to everyday psychology, he counters skepticism and highlights the relevance of these concepts in understanding human behavior.
