Sigmund Freud is considered revolutionary in the field of women's sexuality. His findings, resulting in part from frequent contact with patients, some of the assumptions of theoretical and too bold, strongly influenced the evolution of twentieth-century and contemporary attitudes toward women, both in terms of their sexuality, and everyday life. We can say that thanks to his research women as a topic became not only art but also in medicine, philosophy, politics. There is no doubt that his openness and courage on the one hand, and trust from Freud's patients have had direct relevance to the emerging feminist movement, and women's studies, even if over time and radically changed the point of views. Freud was initially seen as one who has opened many opportunities in research and female discourse. Currently, the dominant position is rather critical of him and his theories. Nevertheless, the fact that Freud even if shortsighted and highly patriarchal first drew attention to some women's issues, worthy of note. Perhaps this is the era in which he lived, and perhaps his personal experiences, family, both that from which it originated, but also that he himself created, or at the end of its history and tradition have made their mark on the views of Freud. Of course, repeatedly describing his anachronistic language quite freely and naturally women as creatures a bit too emotionally unpredictable, a little naive, weak, but also "smart" and "quite similar to men," continues today, opposition or possibly amusement. We can see that Freud unconsciously attributed to himself and the man at all right to rule over women, and in turn to them the obligation to adapt to there male standard. Nevertheless, in many writings while trying to defend women and indicate their equal rights, which in those days often evoked adverse moods. First of all, the very fact that Freud wrote about women and their sexuality in an open and scientific approach, however, and that (at least sometimes ...) allow them to speak about themselves, about their medical conditions, about his sexuality it was quite clearly an act of great courage and evolutionary trends.

The author descibes a dream of one of Freud’s patients based on his paper The Interpretation of Dreams Die Traumideutung.

The purpose of the article is to demonstrate that Freud's theory in its late, mature form significantly goes beyond the model associated with the "repressive hypothesis" and thus can potentially be a useful conceptual tool for analyzing the contemporary non-repressive society and the form of subjectivity it creates. To this end, an outline of the development of the Freudian psychoanalytic theory will be presented in relation to the "repressive hypothesis" from the early period of his work, and then move on to the mature work of Freud to discuss its most important elements such as the concept of narcissism, reformulation of the relationship between anxiety and repression and the concept of duality of life and death drives.

In the first part of the paper the author focuses on the way the great historian and thinker Gershom Scholem understood the Lurianic idea of tsimtsum (i.e. divine contraction as the first act of creation) as the key category of Jewish theology. Next, he combines the conceptual structure emerging from the Scholemian understanding of tsimtsum with Jacques Derrida’s analysis of space. He suggests that the Platonic notion of khora as read by Derrida can be identified with the idea of tehiru, i.e. the void that comes into existence as a result of divine contraction. In the second part of the paper the author extends the equation even further by pointing out how the notion of khora-tehiru can be fruitfully combined with the idea of the “Freudian void,” the space created by the separation of the mother from the child in Freudian analysis of the emergence of the human subject. One of the benefits of such a conceptual merge is that the Scholemian/Derridean/Freudian space thus understood can be seen as permeated with a complex affective and libidinal dynamic. Drawing on various post-Freudian psychoanalytic theorists (Lacan, Klein, Winnicott, Green), the author proceeds to analyze this dynamic, focusing on the notions of mourning, anxiety and desire.

The article presents the analysis and interpretation (in the form of a close reading) of Witold Gombrowicz’s short story The Premeditated Crime from his debut collection Memoirs from a Time of Immaturity , 1933 (later published under the title Bakakaj  or Bacacay  in the English translation). The main theoretical framework is the concept of „paranoid Gothic” by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, which is based on the reinterpretation of Sigmund Freud’s classic essay Psychoanalytical comments on autobiographically described paranoia . From that perspective Gombrowicz’s narrative is interpreted as a paranoid homosexual narrative, and paranoia itself as a form of love.

Are all translators murderers, pests or parasites? Are they humble or the spokespersons of a community? Are they trustworthy or traitors, or even ‘faithful bigamists’? And do translations have to be beautiful or faithful, never both? Might translation be a feminine/feminised activity because most translators are women, or because the target-language is maternal or because it embodies the paradox of the multi-skilled serving the mono-skilled? The second half of this essay focuses on the translation of psychoanalysis, especially Strachey’s brilliant yet much-criticised translation of Freud.

The text presents the theory of the unconscious that can be found in the worksof the philosophico-psychoanalytical pair of French thinkers: Gilles Deleuzeand Felix Guattari. Their theory was conceived in opposition to the classicalfreudian psychoanalysis as well as a certain interpretation of lacanism. It consistsof three main parts: the analysis of desire as the “content” of the unconscious; de-siring machines that form its “infrastructure”; and the authors’ proposal on how to“read” the unconscious. The authors ofAnti-Oedipusoppose to a theory of desirethat links it with lack, the signifier and Law, to describe it as positive, productive,real and non-signifying. They describe the unconscious as multiplicity of moleculardesiring machines that always function in the social realm. Deleuze and Guattaripropose a manner of “reading” the unconscious that opposes both the Freudianmethod of deciphering it as well as the “structuralist” psychoanalysis’ method ofsearching for the Signifier, and instead focuses on examining the work of desiringmachines.

The purpose of this article is to reconstruct Sartre’s critique of selected elements of Freud’s psychoanalysis as far as the emotions theory is concerned. I am analysing those assumptions of Freud’s teachings which became subjected to Sartre’s critique and why. I also point out the fact that some of the elements of psychoanalysis where emphasised by Sartre as important for the development of the emotions theory. My deliberations are based largely on Sartre’s Sketch for a Theory of the Emotion.

Basing his argumentation on Freud’s essay Civilisation and Its Discontents, the author poses a question about the essence of suffering which appears when the Law of the Father is suspended and no longer protects against the death drive. The author formulates a thesis that in the contemporary social space, abandoned by the Law of the Father, it is disciplinary practices that play a key regulative role, pretending to form the relations based on the law. These practices transform the drive energy of Thanatos, which then finds its embodiment in the everyday lifelessness of bureaucracy, the coolness of rules and the excess hidden beneath them. The answer to this situation is Eros, which drives people to community – yet not so much in the form of a family as of an infinite and noneconomic continuum of local games of love and death.

The present analysis is based on the assumption that there is aclose link between an anthropological vision and political views. The main objective is to provide an exegesis of Sigmund Freud’s views on war in the history of civilisation with regard to his vision of human nature. The fundamental element in the author’s reconstruction of Freud’s thought is the essay Civilisation and Its Discontents. In it Freud demonstrates the inevitability of war, which has its permanent source in human nature, more specifically, in the Thanatos drive — drive of death, aggression and destruction. Influenced by his critics (e.g. Albert Einstein and Erich Fromm), Freud tried to modify his position on this matter in another essay entitled Why War? The present author’s conclusion is that Freud’s views contradict the anthropological assumptions formulated earlier.

The paper calls into question the status of (post)Lacanian atheism as can be inferred from writings of Lacan himself (mainly seminaries XI, XVIII, XX and XXIII) and Slavoj Žižek. Such atheism is based on the inexistence of “the Other of the Other”, which, however, cannot be merely stated, but must take the form of an injunction. In this postlacanian logic, true atheists are not those who deny the existence of God – even in its symbolic functions – but those who – actively relying on the absence of “the Other of the Other” – are able to carry out fundamental shifts within the symbolic structure of the Other. Yet, this atheism, which might be viewed as one of the strongest forms of denying the divine, is based itself on the monotheistic grid. Drawing upon some remarks from the late writings of Freud, the paper aims to reveal the inner, self-referential logic of the Father, whose position is preserved and strengthened after the actual death of the Father. Postlacanian atheism might be conceived of as the latest form of fatherly self-grounding, in which divine position perpetuates itself under the cover of injunctions to radical atheism. Finally, the paper propounds an interpretation of Kafka’s short story The Cares of a Family Man (Die Sorge des Hausvaters), in which the enigmatic figure of “Odradek” – a deathless half-object, half-creature – stands for the final material embodiment of the futile injunction to renounce the divine. Thus Odradek epitomises the Law, which is nothing but an insoluble rattle, emptied from the tension of desire, in front of which Kafka’s characters are forced to wait.

This paper is a review of the book: Anna A. Terruwe and Conrad W. Baars, Psychic Wholeness and Healing (Eugene, Oreg.: Wipf and Stock, 2016, 2nd edition). According to the author, the book shows (1) how Thomistic thought can be applied to both psychoanalytic theories and practical psychological and spiritual issues, and (2) what role is possible for religion to play in reinvigorating psychoanalysis.

Arab feminism started in the 20th century and was reminiscent of similar movements in the West, but was never as dynamic nor successful as them. Arab women worked actively to promote equal rights for females at that time, and their leaders became the first feminists. They presented concepts that may be divided into groups according to the three main currents initiated by Egyptian activists. The first one aimed at reforms in favour of women and equality of the two sexes and was introduced by the Cairo aristocrat Huda Sharawi and women from the Egyptian upper class. Conservative activist Zaynab al-Ghazali established the second current along Islamic lines, encouraging women to demand their rights according to the Islam paradigm. The trend initiated by medical doctor and writer Nawal as-Sadawi can be referred to as progressive because it aimed to break the taboos of sexuality and carnality as forbidden subjects in public. Fatema Mernissi was a Moroccan writer and sociologist who combined Islam and feminism, grounding her arguments in Islamic teachings. The article discusses Mernissi’s life and work in terms of her efforts to seek the full equality of women and men in personal and public spheres. She benefited from her own experience, research and works on Islam as well as psychology. Mernissi described her childhood and youth in a traditional Moroccan harem, which underwent some decisive changes in the second half of the 20th century. It is noteworthy that two types of behaviour were observed in the harem: aggressive (characteristic of men) and assertive (connected with women). They are a basis for presenting the customs of the harem in the light of Mernissi’s writings. The author also deals with sexuality as an important subject for women yet rarely discussed in public. She made an interesting comparison between the concepts of sexuality developed by medieval famous Arab scholar Al-Ghazali (12th century) and the contemporary theory of Sigmund Freud. Mernissi emphasized that Muslim ideas were more favourable for the two sexes than Western ones.

This essay compares Freud’s and Heidegger’s concept of Angst. Heidegger’s and Freud’s interpretations are guided by different aims: A) in “Inhibition, Symptom and Anxiety” Freud tries to define the concept of anxiety as a main element in neurosis; B) Heidegger’s notion plays a major role in gaining the existential meaning of Dasein. Despite the differences, this essay claims that it is possible to discover a common anthropo-existential interpretation. Anxiety marks the anthropological and existential passage from the non-distinction of the pre-subjective life to the distinction that emerges from the progressive differentiation of the subject from the world. From such a distinction originates the conflict between the tendency to regain non-distinction (as a pre-birth condition) and the necessity of multiplicity. In Freud, anxiety is the price for the renunciation of indistinction; in Heidegger, anxiety is encountered when this price is recognized as unavoidable. This is the core problem that this study takes into account in order to show the existential and anthropological role of anxiety. I will proceed with an analysis of Freud’s interpretation of anxiety, and then with the Heideggerian notion. The third part points out the affinity between them. Furthermore, the paper focuses on the dis-chronic temporality that characterizes the trauma of birth. In order to show the latter, we compare the temporalities of trauma and aesthetic experience. To perform this temporal analysis, the text adopts a phenomenological viewpoint (especially from Husserl).

This article presents the monograph L’influence de la psychanalyse sur la critique littéraire en France (1914–1939) which is a detailed characterization of the presence of psychoanalysis in the discourse of French literary criticism in the years 1914–1939. The development of the French psychoanalytic criticism during this pioneering era is by no means homogeneous. The analysis of critical works written in this period and relating to psychoanalysis reveals a clear evolution within this methodological orientation – from the first, often superficial or downright grotesque attempts at transplanting Freud’s method directly to the discourse concerning literature, to mature critical proposals, the latter only referring to psychoanalysis or creatively adapting it to their own purposes.

he main goal of examining a single philosophical theory, connected with social and political disciplines, is not just to identify its incoherence or to restate the theory in a more elegant way. More important in that kind of investigation is to show its possible impact on people’s lives and the functioning of communities. Thus, it seems more reasonable to conduct a critical analysis of the possible consequences for a real society than to undertake a simple study of the argument’s logical consistency. The main aim of this paper is to introduce doubts about the thesis of Chantal Mouffe presented by her in Agonistics. Thinking the World Politically and Passion and Politics. Main hypothesis is that thinking about the “political” and “politics” with reference to enmity as well as claiming that the source of every political and social activity is antagonism, can provoke an attitude that social and political scenes are battlefields rather than an agora or the space of human interactions. First of all, the author provides the critical analysis and reconstruction of the most important claims connected with the “political”, which can have strong negative effects-i.e. brutalization and creating a negative basis for social relation. Then presents a few possible sources of thinking of “political” as a “competition” or rather “enmity”. The last part it is the critic of what Mouffe claims about reason why people get involve into politics, based on the psychological experiments and in result of this the author shows the importance of validity the high standards in politics, diplomacy and relation on the social level.

Bulgarian Interwar Interpreters of FreudThis article aims at analysing views of the so-called “orthodox” Bulgarian psychoanalysts. The discussed subject-matter is used to infer a set of intellectual trends that influenced the formation of the interwar period anthropological and philosophical discourse that centred around the categories of the body, sexuality, gender and femininity. The analysis of the selected research material is intended to provide context for and a source of understanding of certain complex interwar projects of religious and philosophical character. Bułgarscy międzywojenni interpretatorzy FreudaCelem tego artykułu jest analiza myśli tzw. ortodoksyjnych bułgarskich psychoanalityków. Podejmowana tematyka służy ukonstytuowaniu pewnego zestawu prądów intelektualnych, które wpłynęły na kształtowanie się międzywojennego dyskursu o charakterze antropologiczno-filozoficznym, а w którego centrum stanęły kategorie ciała, seksualności, płci i kobiecości. Analiza wybranego materiału badawczego ma posłużyć za kontekst i źródło zrozumienia niektórych złożonych międzywojennych projektów o charakterze religijno-filozoficznym.

This article discusses The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole as the first gothic work dramatizing, through the theme of “usurpation”, the emergence of the new but “greedy” bourgeoisie in England in the eighteenth century as a threat against the long-established, and from Walpole’s perspective, “divinely ordered” aristocratic system. Au fait with the worries and expectations of aristocracy, for he is the son of Robert Walpole (the first Prime Minister of England), and a member of nobility and the Parliament, Walpole, in his work, cannot help defending the established system against the emerging bourgeois paradigm. In the article, Walpole’s concern with the chaotic state of his country, which he reveals through building a devastating class conflict in Otranto, will be analyzed with the help of biographical, historical, and Marxist approaches. Finally, by referring to the Freudian theory of “wish-fulfillment through dreams”, Walpole’s solution for the conflict will be shown to be a self-gratifying one, satisfying the author’s aristocratic self.

The concept of archetype used by Eliade in religious science investigations derives from his meditational experiences. Eliade, in order to be better understood by Western scholars, referred to the archetype concept by Carl Gustav Jung and the concept of ideal type used by phenomenologists. However, one should not identify Jung's concept of archetype with that of Eliade's. With Jung, it has a psychological meaning, with Eliade a metaphysical one. However, according to the Romanian scholar, the same archetypes are basis of religious, esthetical and literary symbols. It is our intention which decides about how given symbol is to be understood. Any symbols however, owe their power just to the archetypes embedded in the structure of the human psyche.
