Ethics and the Discovery of the Unconscious

Meer over het boek

The exploration of unconscious processes by Nietzsche and Freud necessitates a reevaluation of moral agency and responsibility. The book critiques contemporary psychology for failing to adequately address these concepts while arguing for a new moral psychology that incorporates unconscious functioning. It emphasizes the importance of understanding one's unconscious motivations to cultivate a morally and psychologically mature self, positioning this self-awareness as central to ethical responsibility.
