Animism, Magic and the Omnipotence of Thought

Více o knize

The book explores Freud's adaptation of animism, a concept derived from anthropologists, which describes the inclination of primitive cultures and children to attribute souls and intentionality to inanimate objects. It delves into how this notion intersects with psychoanalysis, particularly through projective mechanisms, highlighting the psychological implications of viewing the world through an animistic lens.
