Replacing Freud

关于无意识的信念、欲望和动机,最新的科学见解是什么?当代实验心理学家比弗洛伊德做得更好吗?还有比这更糟的吗?在本周的节目中,我们要问:是什么取代了弗洛伊德?

Against Introspection

It’s tempting to imagine that self-knowledge is easy to come by. All you have to do is introspect. The idea is that the mind is kind of like a clear glass fishbowl. If you want to know what’s going on, all you’ve got to do is take a look. But there are problems with this idea.

Sexy Beasts

Love it or hate it, Freud’s decades long exploration into the nature and power of human sexuality is something that any philosopher of sex needs to contend with. I turn to this curiously under-explored region of the philosophical landscape in the final installment of my Philosophical Freud series.

Mind the Gaps!

In this installment of my series on Freud as a philosopher, I explain how Freud arrived at the view that mental states are brain states, that mental processes are unconscious, that we have only indirect access to our own minds, and that introspection is an inadequate tool for exploring the mind.

The Puzzle of the Unconscious

与弗洛伊德同时代的大多数人都认为人类的思想是有意识的。研究心理学发展的思想历史学家常常会错误地理解弗洛伊德的最初贡献,因为他们没有足够仔细地理解“潜意识”和“无意识状态”等术语的含义。
