Reflexionen über das Unbewusste

Meer over het boek

Research and new theories in psychoanalysis have led to various concepts of the unconscious. Current metapsychology aims to integrate these perspectives using insights from neuro- and cognitive sciences, as well as disciplines like semiotics and philosophy of the soul. Matthias Kettner and Wolfgang Mertens explore this discourse, achieving a high level of reflection in the critical dialogue between psychoanalysis and philosophy, which offers numerous insights for 21st-century metapsychology. Semiotics emerges as a valuable framework for parts of psychoanalytic scientific theories, particularly in the practice of interpreting the unconscious.
