Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund Freud ~ Full Audiobook
Psychopathology of Everyday Life by Sigmund Freud audiobook. Professor Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so-called borderline cases of mental diseases, such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis. By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient's life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning, and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation. Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned. It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the Psychopathology of Everyday Life, a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behavior, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real. This translation is made of the fourth German edition, and while the original text was strictly followed, linguistic difficulties often made it necessary to modify or substitute some of the author's cases by examples comprehensible to the English-speaking reader. --- Recommended Products --- Wake up to a sunrise and birds chirping with this alarm clock: PHILIPS SmartSleep Great dog treat that cleans teeth: Greenies Dog treat Best spray for cleaning up after pet: Nature's Miracle Dog stain and Odor Remover Favorite spiritual guidance book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Prime shipping is awesome: Amazon Prime Fantastic aviator sunglasses: Serengeti Carrara Our favorite bluetooth speaker: Harman Kardon Studio 8 Our favorite streaming device for tv: NVIDIA Shield Pro For the hammock fans, the skyloft is worth it: ENO Skyloft Hammock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about your ad choices.

Timaeus by Plato ~ Full Audiobook
Timaeus by Plato audiobook. 'Our intention is, that Timaeus, who is the most of an astronomer amongst us, and has made the nature of the universe his special study, should speak first, beginning with the generation of the world and going down to the creation of man...' 'Timaeus' is usually regarded as one of Plato's later dialogues, and provides an account of the creation of the universe, with physical, metaphysical and ethical dimensions, which had great influence over philosophers for centuries following. It attributes the order and beauty of the universe to a benevolent demiurge - a 'craftsman' or god - fashioning the physical world after the pattern of an ideal, eternal one. The dramatic setting of the dialogue is the day after a discussion in which Socrates has described his ideal state - as in the 'Republic'. A conversation between Socrates, Critias, Hermocrates and Timaeus, including Critias' account of Solon's journey to Egypt (where he hears the story of Atlantis), soon gives way to the monologue by Timaeus that forms the bulk of the work. 'Timaeus' is translated by Benjamin Jowett and his comprehensive introduction to and analysis of the work precedes the text itself, which he describes as 'the growth of an age in which philosophy is not wholly separated from poetry and mythology'. --- Recommended Products --- Wake up to a sunrise and birds chirping with this alarm clock: PHILIPS SmartSleep Great dog treat that cleans teeth: Greenies Dog treat Best spray for cleaning up after pet: Nature's Miracle Dog stain and Odor Remover Favorite spiritual guidance book: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Prime shipping is awesome: Amazon Prime Fantastic aviator sunglasses: Serengeti Carrara Our favorite bluetooth speaker: Harman Kardon Studio 8 Our favorite streaming device for tv: NVIDIA Shield Pro For the hammock fans, the skyloft is worth it: ENO Skyloft Hammock - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Learn more about your ad choices.
