Abstract

The paper On the Psychohistory as a Historiographical Paradigm reviews a book by Tomasz Pawelec: History and the Unconsciousness. Theoretical Premises and Research Practice of Psychohistory, Katowice 2004. The book includes both the reconstruction of the theoretical and methodological assumptions shared by psychohistorians based on the psychoanalysis or the neofreudian conceptions and the characteristics of their actual studies of the history. The psychohistory is presented by T. Pawelec as a vivid and constantly changing paradigm in historiography of 20th century. His book is recommended to psychologists interested in the psychoanalysis and, even more strongly, to historian.

Abstract

The article begins by briefly introducing the main points of Freud’s approach to dream interpretation. Then, against this background, we discuss Wittgenstein’s understanding of dream interpretation, referring to both his personal dreams and his comparison of dreams with movies. The purpose of this article is to analyze some of Wittgenstein’s descriptions of dreams. At the core of his interpretation, unlike with Freud’s unconscious, is the idea of consciously perceiving a meaningful relationship between the dreamer’s mental state when awake and the content of his or her dream. The discovery of this relationship can, according to Wittgenstein, be achieved in various ways, for example by comparing dreams to movie presentations.

Abstract

The issue of unconsciousness, correlated with the topic of a human’s sexual life, is one of the most significant philosophical trends in Nikolai Berdyaev. Focusing on this issue, the Russian thinker perceives the ambiguous assessment of psychoanalysis as the groundbreaking phenomenon of his times. Berdyaev’s attitude towards Sigmund Freud’s and Carl G. Jung’s theories oscillates between approval and negation, and is shaped on the plane of ontological deconstruction. According to Berdyaev, psychoanalysis allows people to realize the presence of gender energy as well as indicates the need for sublimation. However, the transformation of sex drive into the source of production is not possible without the spiritual principle – something that is not taken into consideration in psychoanalysis, which is, as Berdyaev claims, its greatest weakness.
