both, seppur in various ways, on ending of the 1800's unhinge some fundamental certainties of the western civilization: if Nietzsche “had trasvalutato” all the fundamental values of the West, hour Freud destroys the certainty of I, on which our civilization has been constructed and that, to second of the historical ages, it has been defined “I”, “Spirit”, “Spirit”, etc And not to case the entire modern philosophy, from the Middle Ages until the 1800's had made hinge on the notion of I, from cogito cartesian to I task kantiano to spirit hegeliano, and such notion had been discovered, many centuries before, from Socrate, since, before he, the spirit remained a something of vanished that it was not identified with the person, tant'è that for Orphean it it was the present divine part in we. And it is just with Socrate that I comes to identify itself with the conscience, to such point that “I” succeeds in to mean “that of which I have conscience " (we think next to res cogitans of Cartesio) while, always the Orphean ones, in opposite direction to Socrate, had shown the idea that what they defined “demon” manifested in the moments of minor conscience (the sleep, the faint, etc). The idea of the Io/coscienza identification, emerged with Socrate, has become one of the pillars of the western civilization and single in little they have had boldness to put it in argument: between these, it deserves of being remembered Plotino, which had picked, for therefore saying, various levels of the conscience, so that, beyond to the ordinary level, there was also that sovrarazionale, in a position to reaching One neoplatonico; from the plotiniana perspective it emerges, seppur timidly, the idea that the mind is not identified with I and this idea has been perfected resumption and, in the 1600's, from Leibniz, which spoke express about “small perceptions " and “virtual innatismo”, convinced that in the head of the man slight knowledge existed of which conscience is not had, nearly like if our mind contained something that goes to beyond the conscience. Also Hume, in the age of the illuminismo, taking apart the substance concept, had ended in order to destroy with to it also that most particular substance that we are: in other words, the Scottish thinker had asked itself if, emptied the mind from the contents of the conscience, she could remain something and she had wittily answered that I, in the end, other was not if a bundle of perceptions and was not therefore reached the conclusion that we are not other to the infuori of the sum of our perceptions. Same Schopenhauer read I like the most particular and superficial manifestation of that unitary and deep truth that it defined “will”; all these thinkers counter-current, but, have not been enough in order to prevent that the idea was asserted always more than unitary I, aware and ration them and that the passions came considered like elements nearly strangers to our true personality. If Schopenhauer were itself acutely shrewed who the true nature of the man, in reality, is not the reason, but the sphere the book of martyrs (tant'è that the reason, according to Schopenhauer, is a species of organ that the passion is conferred for being able itself to realize), with Nietzsche we find of forehead to one true and own resumption of the humeana idea. Even if from the concept of “power will” it seems to be transparent the absolute centralità of the individual, Nietzsche takes apart the substance notion radically (“ the being lacks “ Zarathustra asserts) and its to come less also crumbles that most particular manifestation of it that we are (I) and Nietzsche is left over (in Human, too much human ) the alarming question if it is true that we are to think the ideas or, rather, are the ideas that are believed, that they go and they come, attracted from nearly chemical processes, without that there is I. The great merit of Freud resides in ricucito having all these hard blows arranges you to the notion of I and in having given the formulation better than this thought “counter-current”. I, famous Freud, it is not that not there is, but, simply, is a truth infinitely more marginal than those that has been believed from Socrate in then . E' like if we were all, aware or less, cartesian, since if there are things of which abbiam conscience it is not like if for we not there were; but it is not true that the mind is identified in all and for all with the conscience; viceversa, the conscience is one small portion of the mind , a shaking portion for many backs, and same I it is a point of contact between things very more important. Very it emerges, from these considerations, as for Freud the mind is other thing regarding I or to the conscience. psiche it is, instead, the mind in its complex and in it it finds space I (than Freud it calls also “Ego”), which is shaped like aware part of the psiche. And he is much onlooker like Freud is not, properly, a philosopher to full load tito it, but a doctor who is interested of psichiatria in the attempt to cure some precise pathologies and is equally curious like, from good doctor of the fine 1800's, it was convinced of it postulates you of the materialista Positivismo and thought that in order to explain made psychical it had to be resorted to material events, like if every activity of the mind was tied to a part of the brain. As mature Freud its thought, but, more and more takes the distances from these ideas, to such point that will think that a day, when there are the instruments adapted in order to make it, it will be necessary to characterize the material causes of psychical pathology, but, since at the moment not there is availability of such instruments, it must project own surveying (and is that that it makes) on that that he is indagabile, that is the relationships between psychical facts, neglecting those materials. E' like if Freud, from always considered a anti-positivista, were in reality a “lacked positivista ": and it begins to practice in the earlier stage of its activity, with to other doctors, the technique of the ipnosi in order to cure sure pathologies, in the conviction that through it can be reverted to events of the removed past and, making them to riemergere, can itself be understood the origin of determined “nevrosi” deriving from inner conflicts; he must himself, that is, be made to emerge that that he is removed for being able it therefore to cure. And something of this original theory will remain always present in its thought: in particular, Freud always will be convinced that psychical pathologies have origin in traumi and unsolved psychical conflicts and such conflicts often come removed, that is removed from the state of conscience and riposti elsewhere: the diagnosis/therapy consists in making them to riemergere and the diagnosis, therefore, is also the cure of the disease. But Freud, in the course of its maturation, more and more stretches to conceive those that in origin called “traumi real” like “traumi virtual ", that is not effective: in rarest cases the trauma it is only legacy to a fact of the real life, while in the overwhelming majority of the cases they happen inside of the psiche human and, in this perspective new, Freud stretches to reject to hour the ipnosi, since has the function to make to collapse the barriers. Since with the removal sure events vengon made to pass from the conscience to the not-conscience, are obvious that they cannot emerge through a praxis ration them (inasmuch as they are found hidden to the reason) and the ipnosi then servants more not to pull down the obstacles going around them (because he is too much “artificial”), but it will be aimed at the destruction of the removal processes , inasmuch as they have of make them, as an example the dreams and the lapsus, when that is a word for an other is said (and for Freud “ the scappata” word inavvertitamente is which in order indeed was wanted to be said). She must herself therefore be attended to that that the persons say or make to beyond the conscience and, just as in the event of the lapsus a word is pronounced rather than an other, therefore are also for the behaviors: there are things that we make without to become of account as an example (, the tic) and digging in they the truth of the human nature picks itself. However, that does not imply that not all the actions that compiamo unconsciously have meaning: as an example, all that that is present in the dreams does not have unconscious meaning. Accepted the idea not to be able to explain and to cure the psychical uneasiness through practical materials, Freud proposes itself to work on a psychological plan and the fundamental concept that emerges from this new job is that one of removal : it implies that determined conflict situations that, because just such, is heavy for the conscience, comes “removed”, without but it are made to disappear completely; they come that is hidden and placed in that immensest tank of the psiche that freud calls “ the unconscious one ".They exist therefore things that our psiche stretch to consider to for this reason avoid to conscious level and remove them, but this removal creates uneasiness that manifests in psychical and psychosomatic estrinsecazioni (Freud above all concentrates the own attention on the isterica paralysis) that they gush exactly from unsolved psychological conflicts whom, for being able to be it cures to you, must in some measure be made to emerge and from the same fact to take of conscience, even painfully, is born also the cure. The problem is that, siccome the psiche have riposto these things to level of unconscious, are unthinkable to tear them in coercive way to the unconscious one; it will have to be tried rather than to go around the “barriers” that proteggono the unconscious one and, for being able to make that, are it varies ways to you, in particular all those situations in which the conscience he is more tenuous and the irrazionali aspects of the mind are in Association of Bologna (the lapsus, the dreams, i tic, etc); the lettino of the psicanalista it renders the idea well, in how much the extended patient on it speaks spontaneously lowering the barriers about the unconscious one. Always in this optical, Freud used a lot the mechanism of transfert , that is the innamoranto of the patient towards the psicanalista: Freud noticed, in fact, of as many its patients finissero for innamorarsi of he (in how much tried a sense of necessity of its aid and, after all, of its person) and, at first, she thought that this unexpected could interfere with the cure, but then noticed like, instead, she was of aid, since she stretches to make to collapse the barriers of the unconscious one and allows to enter in the depths of the psiche. An other system of which Freud takes advantage itself in order to penetrate in the mind is that one of free association of ideas , which consists, essentially, in placing the patient of forehead to an image or a word and in inviting it to say all that that it comes to it in mind. But the employed more important method and more from the Austrian psychologist is that one of interpretation of the dreams (to which dedication perhaps more famous written its): in the dream present they are contained removed, but the human mind is not therefore ingenuous to make to emerge in the dream that that it holds hidden during the waking and therefore that that we see in the dreams is not, banally, that that has been removed; but they emerge contained removed but in rielaborata shape and a language that says and hides at the same time, in how much gives contained but it expresses them in enigmatic way. Therefore it will be mistaken, famous Freud, to say that I have dreammed to fly and that therefore I want at all costs to fly; the job that Freud proposes itself to make is exactly that one to try to decipher the syntactic rules of the language of the dreams, distinguishing between meant latent (that is true meant, hidden) and meant the manifest one (that one appearing, therefore like appears to us in the dream). Already Platone had opportunely noticed as in the dreams often we make things that in reality never we would make neither think to make: therefore, after that the patient will have dreammed to fly, it will be able to be said that the manifest meant one was exactly to fly, but that latent one was an other; a lot often, in fact, the dream proceeds for images and, therefore, the contents come expressed through symbols and objects (animals, things, persons, etc) of which it is not in a position to explaining the true one meant (that therefore it remains “latent”). Much more than second a mechanism of condensation in an only object they are it crystallizes multiple contained and it means to you to you. But not only: through the mechanism of movement the content is moved and sli on objects that enter not there null, for which even dreams a cat but it does not have null to that to see with the content. Curious E' like Freud, left from a therapeutic issue, is moved more and more, in way graduates them, towards a sistematizzazione of its thought and comes elaborating a general interpretation of the psiche human and therefore its speech is increased, from doctor who was, towards the anthropology. One is born some metapsicologia , that is a psycology that gives mere instrument in order to resolve problems becomes one general theory on the man: and Freud discovers, in this optical, infantile sexuality , one of the aspects that mainly scandalized the society of the time. In particular, it supports the centralità of the sexuality in the human life, putting in evidence like the pulsioni that are to the base of the life are sexual and as from the sex the civilization and many even derive other things. And for being able to confer such fondativo character to the sexuality, Freud looks at itself forced to conceive it in a more rather wide meaning and succeeds in to second propose the thesis which the removal graduates them of the sexuality from the society is from attributing itself to the fact that always has been conceived in too much narrow way in order then to frame it in rigid rules that attenuated it: not being able to eliminate it, it is shrunk to the within of the sexuality turns to procreazione in the matrimoniale within, sicchè are succeeded in to morally consider unacceptable shapes of “ various” sexuality (like that one not time to procreazione, that homosexual, that extramatrimoniale one) and for more it comes eliminated that character of sexuality that in reality many things have, between which the children. The child, in fact, has one its sexuality and, in intentionally provocative shape, Freud defines it like “ to be perverso poliformo ": when one is born, a shape of sexuality to trecentosessanta degrees is had, a various sexuality from as it means it and it imposes us to mean it the civilization of which we are sons: the sexuality, according to Freud, coincides with the ability to try appeals to with the body through functions that are not closely physiological and, therefore, the child tries yes appeals to in taking the latte ones maternal because it satisfies its food requirement, but is also true that try appeal to to suck the maternal breast (and the ciucciotto it is born from this consideration), that it is a sexuality shape. The child therefore is “polimorfo” because in he the limitation of the sexuality sets up from the civilization not is still and its sexuality still is not oriented to one single “zone erogena”; as it grows, however, he endures the infuence of the society and ends in order to identify the single sexuality with the zone erogena genita them; and therefore, beyond to being “polimorfo”, the child is also “perverso” because in he those shapes of sexualities are all that a P2o to the time vengon cut outside from the society in which it lives because it thinks to them perverse. Inside of this is made of maturation of the child, is a lot important the relationship with the parents and, above all, with the father (the attention of Freud is always classified, generally, to the male sex): and it is to this point that Freud draft of the celebre complex of Edipo ; as its psycology vanishes in the anthropology, he stretches to stravolgere (a P2o as it had made with the myth of Atteone) meant of myths the classics Tawny. More in the detail, it notices in the vicissitudes of Edipo one mitologica transposition of the life of the child: the mother constitutes for the child, just like for Edipo, the first individual with which rapporta and to which its sexual attention addresses and, in this first phase, the father conceives as opposing and of it confrontation for the possession of the mother is born one; such phase, but, will be exceeded and it will arrive itself to the identification with the father. The family and, above all, the figure of the father become for Freud the key of reading of all: all the stages that are covered in the increase process are necessary, the important are not to remain block you to a stage (that one of the complex of Edipo) without to even exceed it; if it is not exceeded, the “regression” is had and is born uneasiness and pathologies that the psicanalisi must resolve. The presupposed one of the speech is that, in absence of physiological replies, the psychical life must strongly be interpreted on the base of one inner pulsione that goes unloaded, nearly like if existed a flow of inner energy that until is not unloaded ago star badly; and, according to Freud, such inner energy is above all a sexual pulsione, than he it calls libido . The Austrian doctor more and more stretches to elaborate which same he calls “metapsicologia” and within this elaboration deserves of being examines some concepts to you centers them of its works: a first attempt to explain the conflict that travaglia the psiche human resides in observing two opposite principles between they, than Freud it calls principle of the pleasure and truth principle . The man, of for himself, would always stretch to at once satisfy the pleasure that tries, for being able therefore to find a shape of inner equilibrium; and however to this “principle of the pleasure”, for which it would have been induced to always realize and however the pleasure, the “principle of truth " , that is the knowledge of the coming from demands from the surrounding atmosphere is opposed: if, in fact, all the pulsioni immediately were realized, not only that would be incompatible with the rules of the society, but even with the simple physical survival of the individual, and to case everyone of we does not stretch to repress the principle partially of according to appeals to the fact that must living. According to this freudiana interpretation, the man alive in a perennial ineliminabile tension for which nobody of the two principles (of appeals to and truth) can come less: the pulsioni must be scariocate but holding account of the surrounding truth and from that it rises, gradually, an inner conflict, just as in the dreams things removed from the conscience emerged. And it is curious to notice as this distinction between the two principles recalls strongly that nietzscheana between apollineo and dionisiaco: like for Nietzsche, also for Freud to the base of the man there are irrazionali and vitalistiche pulsioni (that is dionisiache), than but they come reorganized from the apollineo, that is from the rules taxes from the society and the rationality. In some more mature works, Freud openly declares of to have gone to beyond the principle of appeals to: account becomes that is that in appearance the principle of truth and that one of pleasure only are between opposite they; if better it analyzes to you, they turn out indeed to be two faces of the same medal, just like the profit, if examined in depth, are not in contrast with the pleasure, but it is indeed a way in order to realize it usefully; therefore the truth principle other is not if a manifestation of the principle of does not appeal to, more just consists in expressing the pleasure in mediated shape. And then Freud becomes account that against this bipolar principle that is the principle of it appeal to (comprising, as we have as soon as said, also that one of truth) there is an other principle to opposite it and consists in one tendency to the autodistruction. Hour Freud to the vital principle (it appeal to to + truth) contrappone that one of dead women, under autodistruction shape and in order to express the conflict between these two principles resume the binomial, typically romantico, eroV kai qanatoV , “love and died”: paradoxicalally, in the man we find a tendency vitalistica that he expresses himself in the principle of it appeal to (eroV) contrapposta to that autodistruttrice (qanatoV) and Freud asserts that the pulsioni must absolutely be unloaded and that the pleasure consists exactly in unloading them, but adds that if a relative unloading of they gives again the equilibrium and coincides with the eroV, sometimes there is one tendency exasperated to one unloading total of the pulsioni and the vitalità: in that it resides qanatoV. Where it emerges this according to impulse that stretches to cancel the life? Freud discovers itself, says, above all in the aggressiveness towards the outside and if same and, still more, in coazione to repeat , that is in the tic with strongly repetitive character: in fact, the same fact that stretches to repeat itself to the infinite gives a sense of dead women, because it implies the abolition of the vitalistica creativity and reduces the life to a inanimato mechanism, nearly like if tried nostalgia for the beings lacking in life. Always in the within of the metapsicologia, Freud elaborates two celebrates theories, said of “ before topical “and of” second topical ": “ the topical” term is desunto from the Greek topoV, “place”, and Freud employs it because she stretches hour to read to the psiche human like if uniform in various E regions reigns, even if, she is well to remember it, he has rinunciato to the materialistica interpretation and therefore for “places” physical zones of the brain do not have to be meant literally, but more rather, metaforicamente, zones with various characteristics from whose interaction derives the human behavior. If Nietzsche had put in doubt, resuming the humeane theses, the compactness of the notion of I, hour Freud with the “topical ones” sfalda it completely: it, in fact, suggests the idea that not there is a personality very defined and equipped of varied manifestations, but, viceversa, proposes the hypothesis that is “reigns” separates you of which ours I it is only an aspect. In the “first topical one” it characterizes three ambles you of the psiche: 1) “conscious” he is that of which we have conscience effectively; 2) “preconscious” it is that tank to which the conscious one it reaches: if, as an example, I am speaking, the things that I say hour consciously, yesterday they were already in my head but I was not thinking to they and therefore they were to level subconscio, was enough to lengthen the hand in order to take them; 3) “unconscious” he is all that that has been removed from the conscience, so that a solid barrier is created much that prevents the access. In the “second topical one”, instead, that it is by far more famous, we meet three various elements: a) I (or Ego) it is the aware personality, b) the Superego (or Superego) is the conscience that are overlapped to the decisions of I, c) the Es (or Id) is not identifiable with the personality characterizes them, but it is with of the irrazionali pulsioni and just for this it comes expressed with pronome the neutral “Es” (“Id” in Latin). I it corresponds to the conscious dimension, to that in “the first topical” Freud it had defined like “conscious” and “subconscio”; the Es, instead, corresponds to the unconscious one of the “first topical one” and is, in short, that that influences the behavior heavy. That that but it does not find a corrispettivo in the “first topical one " is the Superego, than, essentially, which is usually identified with defines voice of the conscience, that sense of the duty that I impose a behavior that it, of for, would not adopt, just as in Kant the duty (Superego) I impose not to make that that I he would want to make. The reference to Kant is not accidental: when the German thinker spoke about categorical imperative, she said express that she must be known to recognize that that effectively it is a coming from duty from the inside (to even help the others), without some motivation eteronoma. Kant but had not succeeded in to assume, like instead ago Freud, than the one which usually we consider the voice of the conscience she has anch'essa an origin eteronoma or, in order to say it with Nietzsche, human, too much human; in other words, for Freud the voice of the conscience is with of the behavioural norms that the society in which we live imposes us to interiorize and making to become moral duties; centuries before, the sofista Crizia had supported the theory second which the religion would have been invented from an intelligent legislator who, resosi account that the men behave themselves well only if he controls to you, created the concept of God, policeman rising who us controls all how much ventiquattr'ore on ventiquattro. And also when we reject the eventuality of a God, famous Freud, remains however the conscience, than in bottom, as already Hegel had said, is an interiorized God. The child, therefore, is born with all the pulsioni of the Es that would immediately stretch to come true themselves (for the principle of the pleasure): then, but, the family limits to them lively and the first authority with which the baby it enters in contrast is the paternal figure, in how much it represents an external authority that imposes rules and that it is placed as avails again in the possession of the woman (complex of Edipo); however, this authority, originally understanding like enemy, stretches little little to being interiorized to such point that the boy ends in order to identify itself with the father; and when then the individual goes away from the family in order to enter to make part of the society, imbatte in new authorities, so that the laws come respected because the punishment is afraid that derives transgressing them and, above all, because they have been interiorized like values, forgets that is that they are human rules and they are conceived as absolute values dictates from the voice of the conscience (the “duty to you” about which Kant spoke). In this perspective, the Superego corresponds a P2o to the truth principle, in how much other is not if not with of the rules taxes from the outside that come interiorized and become a part of we. After to have said that the Es constitutes with of the pulsioni that are to the base of the man and that the Superego is the so- called voice of the conscience, does not remain that to ask itself in that what consists I: to it Freud reserves an unfortunate destiny somewhat, since constitutes one risen of land of border between the Es and the Superego. To such purpose, Freud explicitly cites commedia “the servitore Harlequin of two masters ", where Harlequin is I and the two padrono they are, respective, the Es and the Superego. The Io/Arlecchino is held to satisfy our essence pulsionale and, at the same time, to answer to the laws dictated from the Superego, and that that prescribes the Superego is in clearly contrast with prescribed how much from the Es, inasmuch as the first one stretches to ingabbiare the sexual pulsioni of the second, and, in this optical, the dressed one to pezze ritagliate of Harlequin symbolizes the fact that I is torn from this conflict. In the last phase of its thought, Freud extends its speech to analysis of the human civilization and its costs : the Superego, he notices, has to that to make with the costs of the society, in how much placa the impulses without to leave them to emerge in surface; under this profile, the notion assumes an always greater importance of subliming . Freud renunciation never and then never to the centralità of the pulsioni inside of the human life and ago not to notice as the civilization always has been an attempt to govern them, an attempt that has come true second two different modality: on one side, it reduces to spaces and ways it limits the sexual expression to you of the libido, but then all the libido that they are not oriented in sexual sense do not disappear, but they come rather “sublimate”, that is reindirizzate to other scopes created to you, like if they evaporated in order then to ricondensarsi in an other way. And it is therefore, like subliming of the sexual pulsioni, that the culture, the art and the job are been born in our civilization; after that, Freud, resuming and extending the concept of the edipico complex, it outlines the origin of i totem and it gives an interpretation of the eucarestia Christian: the primitive societies are constructed on the base of an original patricide with which the father eliminates itself but, after to have completed such brutal gesture, test regret and, therefore, the paternal figure comes divinizzata through the totem or, in the Christian world, with the eucarestia. Made these considerations on the religiosità of the various civilizations, Freud explicitly succeeds in to assert that the religion does not have future and that it will have to get exausted itself: much meaningful one, to such purpose, is the title it of one written of 1927, The future of an illusion . In The uneasiness of the civilization (1930) Freud asserts instead that the civilization is a badly unavoidable one: it is an evil, because it represses and it turns aside the impulses libidici and, just for this reason, the entire society can be considered sick, even if of one generic disease: seppur not there is suffering, reigns ciononostante the uneasiness for the fact that the pulsioni come repressively suffocated but the same one is continued to feel the need of the civilization. This idea of a society to uneasiness for a apollineo excess recalls the thought of Nietzsche strongly, even if for the prophet of the Superman this uneasiness is dismissable in the moment in which it is reached the active nichilismo; for Freud, instead, us it cannot under no circumstances be freed from the Superego and of it mesta perspective of acceptance of a badly necessary one is born one. In spite of these considerations, Freud is not therefore pessimist like can seem, in how much, although refusals the possibility admitted from Nietzsche of schizzare via from the society, she does not refuse that second one which it is possible to improve the society and she is for that she notices in the socialist movement not a way in order to realize the paradise in earth, but in order to reduce the uneasiness that oppresses our society; perhaps once again, Freud , in the conviction that the society can recover little to the time through the adapted medicine assumption, reveals of being more doctor who philosopher.
