Beyond the Pleasure Principle: the Conceptualisation of a Painful Personal Experience
Type de matériel :
75
The reality of death—in the form of the Great War and the threatened and actual loss of loved ones—makes itself strongly felt to Freud the man between 1914 and 1920, and compels the scholar to undertake a vast intellectual work that leads him to develop the concept of the ‘death drive’. It is this progression of the father and the researcher, which runs from the ‘Thoughts for the times on war and death’(1915) to the famous Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920) that is reconstructed here.
