The Psychoanalytic Interpretation of Society by S. Freud

Besides the fact that Sigmund Freud is the founder of psychoanalysis and many other important psychological theories, this great psychoanalyst also had his own unique views on society and the processes within it. Most of his theories related to such concepts as "libido", "groups", and "crowd" form rather a strange and ambiguous interpretation of society.

This radical disregard for the human qualities of the individual, as a separate and ...

Eine Möglichkeit, den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Marxismus und der Psychoanalyse zu bestimmen, ist nach der Antwort innerhalb marxistischen Denkens zu suchen. Marx extrapolierte die Beziehungen zwischen den Arbeitern, Materialien und der herrschenden Klasse. Indem er zeigte, wie die besitzende Klasse (Bourgeoisie) die Arbeiterklasse (Proletariat) manipulierte und unterdrückte, auch zeigte er, wie die Mentalitäten dieser Dual-Klassen gebildet und verändert werden. In marxistischem Denken wird das Proletariat durch die besitzende Klasse und ihre Ideologie beinflusst, die sie zu einem „falschen Bewusstsein“ führt. Somit ist das Proletariat ein Opfer der Gehirnwäsche (über Ideologie), damit sie ihre ...
