Psychoanalysis and the Birth of the Self A Radical Interdisciplinary Approach

Psychoanalysis and the Birth of the Self A Radical Interdisciplinary Approach

This book draws psychoanalysis out of unsubstantiated hermeneutic speculation and into the science and philosophy of the Self. Mark Leffert offers a survey of where we as human beings come from going back into prehistory and our development as individuals. Psychoanalysis and the Birth of the Self is written to provide psychoanalysts with interdisciplinary information drawn from fields that they may have had little access to. Leffert undertakes a novel integration of topics not frequently discussed together resulting in a radical critique of the theorization of psychoanalysis. The book begins by setting the story with a short analysis of the history of psychoanalysis. A new science has been founded on the recognition of the impossibility of separating evolution from development; it is called Evo-Devo. Applied to the human condition it integrates development with palaeoanthropology and forms the basis for exploring such topics as the neurophilosophy of consciousness the birth of the Self and its neurodevelopment. It includes epigenetics in the conversation. Leffert then takes a radical turn integrating the biological Evo-Devo of the Self with the study of its Existence that is Existentialism and Phenomenology. The integration of these two threads Evo-Devo and Existentialism offers a powerful and unique tool for exploring the Self. The author offers an innovative way of understanding an individual that pulls together their biology their development and the way they choose to exist in the world. It steps outside of the traditional ways of clinically understanding an individual not by abandoning them but rather by powerfully supplementing them. Psychoanalysis and the Birth of the Self offers a novel interdisciplinary braiding of disparate strands of knowledge that will be of interest to psychoanalysts as well as those in the disciplines of neuroscience existentialism and phenomenology and anthropology. | Psychoanalysis and the Birth of the Self A Radical Interdisciplinary Approach

Critical Game Theory Humanistic and Radical Alternatives to the Mainstream

Critical Game Theory Humanistic and Radical Alternatives to the Mainstream

The models in mainstream game theory generally assume that actors act according to a single consistent utility function. Empirical studies common sense and humanistic wisdom all suggest that that assumption is too simple. This book starts with an assumption that actors are controlled by diverse inconsistent forces and demonstrates that introducing this level of complexity allows for the creation of critical game theory models that can help to attain new insights into nature human nature human institutions and human behavior. The book begins with an evolutionary or Evo model in which the players have concerns for the other player as well as egoistic interests. Part I analyzes the Prisoner’s Dilemma using a literary or Lit model in which the players have entropic or Entro masochistic and sadistic drives as well as altruistic and egoistic ones. Part II suggests that the Lit model opens the door to a “where Entro is let Evo be” critical perspective on politics. Part III considers how core stories in mainstream game theory can be usefully supplemented and deepened by critical models and reflects on possible futures for critical game theory. The discussion of games and subgames includes poems as well as matrices in pursuit of a mode of presentation that respects the complex simultaneously humanistic and scientific qualities of critical game theory. The vision of critical game theory advanced in the book will be of significant interest to researchers in an array of theoretical and applied disciplines including but not limited to literature psychology political science economics computer science ethics business ethics law and law and economics. | Critical Game Theory Humanistic and Radical Alternatives to the Mainstream
