ルイス・ブレーガー『フロイト視野の暗点』～フロイトの虚構と神話を指摘する、中立的なおすすめ伝記

March 9, 2024

この伝記の著者ルイス・ブレーガーは現代精神分析研究所の初代所長を務めた人物です。

つまり、この本はフロイト側の精神分析家による伝記になります。ですが、この伝記は非常に公正です。フロイトの間違っているところや欠点もこの本ではかなり詳しく指摘され、英雄視したり神話化するような伝記ではありません。

その上でフロイトがいかにして世に出たのか、彼の特徴はどこにあったのかということを解説していく伝記です。これは非常にありがたいものでした。

What Marx and Freud have in common - and a word about Freud's "killing of the father" in Dostoevsky.

July 31, 2023

Marx and Freud provided a narrative of man's past, present, and future.

It was that redemptive story that attracted so many people, Tony Judt said.

And it doesn't matter if the stories they tell are really true or not.

Whether or not the story is appealing enough to attract people is a major point of influence for Marxist-Freudian theory.

Historian E. H. Carr's Views on Marxism - Why Marxism Attracts People

July 31, 2023

In this biography, E. H. Carr will point out the problems in Marx's "Capitalism. He then discusses such contradictions as the famous "surplus value theory" and the "value of labor," and analyzes why Marx is believed by so many despite these problems.

It may be said that E. H. Carr, as a historian, takes a step back in his approach, not only in terms of economics, ideology, and ideology, but also in terms of his relationship with the world as a whole.

A brief explanation of what Marxism is, its criticisms and refutations of those criticisms.

July 31, 2023

We will be updating this blog with articles about Marx for some time to come.

So in this article, we will look again at what Marxism is in the first place, and we will also look at criticisms of it and counter-criticisms of it.

Why I, a non-Marxist, study Marx - Marx as a religious phenomenon.

February 5, 2024

Marx criticized religion.

As one religious person, what do I say to Marx's criticism of religion?

This is a big challenge for me.

I am not a Marxist.

However, Marx had the magical power to move people all over the world. I think that is a fact. So what is the source of this magical power? Why did Marx's thought attract so many people? Who was Marx in the first place, and under what kind of historical background did he live? I believe that learning these things is a great clue to learning more about religion, or even about human beings themselves.
