Psychoanalysis from Freud to Lacana

Psychoanalysis from Freud to Lacan Book Description

Throughout the long path from Freud to Lacan, full of new discoveries and discussions, psychoanalysis has both transformed and shown that it has various possibilities that will affect the human sciences in terms of explaining human beings. While this classic book by Saffet Murat Tura draws our attention to these possibilities and examines them, it also tries to explain and make sense of the interpretation that Freud's concepts and psychoanalysis gained in the hands of Lacan. He discusses the epistemological status of psychoanalysis and how the "unconscious", the basic concept of psychoanalysis, is possible philosophically; It evaluates the phenomenological tradition and Lacan's views together.

Since the development of our knowledge about humans has undoubtedly never stopped and has been sometimes falsified and sometimes changed until today, especially with the discoveries in the field of neurobiology, Tura warns his readers: "I hope that my book will not be read as a recommendation or a prescription. In the face of systems of thought whose empirical value is questionable, people either completely submit to them or They choose to deny it completely. The power of science comes not from the fact that it does not make mistakes, but that it does not insist on making mistakes. We cannot deny the importance of our knowledge derived from psychoanalysis, but we should also be aware that the discussions about psychoanalysis continue to increase.
