Dieter Flader kommt in dieser Arbeit zu dem Schluß, daß für eine psychoanalytische Gesellschaftskritik weniger Freuds kulturkritische Schriften theoretisch von Belang sind, sondern vielmehr das Modell der psychischen Instanzen, vorausgesetzt, es wird im Zusammenhang von Sprache, Wissen und Handeln interpretiert.
Dieter Flader delves into the relationship between contemporary social and cultural issues and the unconscious mind, examining how these connections shape our reactions. The book investigates the underlying psychological factors that influence our engagement with current events, revealing the intricate interplay between our inner thoughts and external societal challenges.
Dieter Flader explores how current social and cultural concerns are connected to the unconscious, and how this affects our responses to them. Flader focuses on the role of the ego, assessing how our feelings about these issues in adulthood grow from childhood fears and desires, and integrating the existing psychoanalytic theories of Winnicott, Lacan, Kohut, and others with sociological and political theory. The interdisciplinary approach not only analyses current social issues but also generates new perspectives and solutions, and examines examples including climate change, bullying, and vegetarianism.
