Até hoje alvo de diversas críticas e controvérsias, acusado de charlatanismo, ocultista e até antissemita, Carl Gustav Jung é um dos maiores contribuintes para a psicologia como a conhecemos atualmente. O suíço, que chegou a nutrir uma íntima amizade com Freud, formulou conceitos amplamente utilizados até hoje, como os arquétipos e o processo de individuação. Além disso, contribuiu para o entendimento dos tipos de personalidades e métodos de interpretação de sonhos como um caminho para entender os níveis mais profundos da psique.

È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

Lacan renovou a psicanálise e a aproximou das ciências humanas, como a linguística.

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX. O médico alemão revolucionou o tratamento para as neuroses e deu início ao mais importante aspecto da psicologia: a escuta. Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.

Cualquier persona que quiera comprender la sociedad, la economía y el pensamiento contemporáneo debe conocer a Karl Marx, el filósofo, economista, sociólogo y periodista alemán de origen judío que revolucionó el panorama intelectual y político de su época.

Carl Jung sigue vigente por su influencia como creador de la psicología profunda y audaz comentarista de los símbolos a través de las culturas. En su paso por el psicoanálisis contribuyó a definir criterios terapéuticos y un método propio para la interpretación de los sueños. Luego se embarcó en una original exploración alternativa del inconsciente, relacionándolo con los mitos colectivos y personales, hasta llegar al concepto de “arquetipo”. La vida de Jung es fascinante porque su aventura intelectual se mezcla con viajes realmente intensos por distintas regiones del mundo.

La obra y la vida de Sigmund Freud siguen dando tela para cortar. Fue tanto su impacto en la cultura occidental (y más allá) como variadas son las controversias alrededor de su legado. El fundador del psicoanálisis colocó al inconsciente en el centro de la escena. Con ese punto de partida armó teorías que modificaban las maneras de entender la psiquis, la familia, la sociedad y el arte. Miles de terapeutas se siguen formando en base a sus enseñanzas, mientras que otras corrientes lo critican fuertemente. La biografía de Freud ayuda a comprender cómo fue su trayectoria y qué objetivos perseguía con el psicoanálisis.
