SUMMARY:On getting the life you want: Psychoanalysis and American Pragmatism
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIn this thought-provoking presentation\, acclaimed psychoanalyst and writer Adam Phillips explores the fundamental tension between Richard Rorty’s pragmatic philosophy—which suggests truth is what helps you get the life you want—and Freudian psychoanalysis\, which reveals how we often resist knowing what we truly desire. Phillips masterfully examines how these two influential frameworks approach the central question of human wanting: while Rorty’s pragmatism encourages us to pursue our conscious purposes and redescribe our lives to achieve our goals\, Freud’s psychoanalysis suggests we are fundamentally unconscious of our deepest desires and driven by forces beyond our awareness. Through this intellectual dialogue\, Phillips illuminates the complexities of modern secular life\, questioning whether we can ever truly know what we want and whether the pursuit of “the life we want” is liberating self-creation or potentially naive wishful thinking\, ultimately suggesting that both psychoanalysis and pragmatism offer valuable contributions to understanding human desire and the possibility of meaningful choice and change through psychoanalytic treatment. \n\n\n\nInstructor Bio:  \n\n\n\nLearning objectives:After attending this presentation\, participants will be able to:1.

SUMMARY:Second Thoughts on "Second Chances: Freud and Shakespeare"
DESCRIPTION:Click Here to Register\n\n\n\nClick Here to Purchase the Book!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking & Directions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSecond Chances: Shakespeare and Freud” brings together Shakespeare scholar Stephen Greenblatt and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips to trace the evolution of the concept of ‘second chances’ from Shakespeare straight through to the works of another Shakespeare scholar\, Sigmund Freud. The phrase “second chance” appears 470 times on “PEP Web\,” from the 1920s up to the present day. Greenblatt and Phillips take us back further still\, 400 years ago\, to Shakespeare’s “Winter’s Tale\,” which they call a “template” for understanding second chances. They move on to Freud\, inviting us to wonder about Freud’s paradoxical observation that people resist the ‘second chance’ they are given in psychoanalysis\, though it is the aim of analysis. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick Here to Register
