20711418 - Philosophy and Psychoanalysis

The teaching of the Philosophy and Psychoanalysis is part of the complementary training activities of the CDS in Philosophical Sciences. Which is the contribution of psychoanalysis to the understanding of current social phenomena? The course aims to answer this question, tracing a path between psychoanalysis, ethics, politics, culture, and society and highlighting the educational - and not just clinical - value of the discipline. At the end of the course, the student will have acquired a major and more clear understinding of the current relational and intersubjective paradigm present in contemporary psychoanalysis and will be able to distinguish the complex intertwining of individual, group and collective psychic functioning.
