does anyone know a page where a can relate Freud's theories?

Question

with Plato, Aristotle, etc filosophies?
im doing this paper on Freud's "Civilization and its descontents" and one of the parts i have to talk about is his relation with the ancient, medieval and modern filosophy authors.
i was hoping that someone knows something about this matter...

oh, im so sorry that i dont know how to spell some words correctly and my question didnt please you...(sarcasm here)
not everyone is american, you know?
its not my fault that the PHILOSOPHY teacher is making me doing this paper, so unless you have something to say about the question, dont came in here fu*king around.

sorry Oliver T, it was not for you. it's just that im trying to get some good info and there's people who came here just to get points or try to be funny.

Answer 1

Well firstly, the word is 'philosophy', so if you don't want to get a z minus, I'd make sure you managed to spell the word you are writing about.

Secondly, Freud was an egotistical, sex obsessed psychologist, not a philosopher. There is very little comparison between Freud's theories and that of the two philosophers you mentioned. You'd be better comparing Jung to them, because he had a far more profound mind than that of his sometime colleague. Jung's theory of archetypes has many comparable qualities to Plato and even more with Socrates. Also, his theory of the collective unconscious has many similarities to a lot of the Eastern philosophies.

Freud is principally renowned for making the term 'ego' a household word. He postulated that it was entirely derived from sexual motivation and most complexes stemmed from childhood trauma. I personally think this is utter nonsense. I can think of only ONE comparison to early Greek mythology and that's the story of Oedipus Rex, where Oedipus killed his father in order to sleep with his mother. Freud coined the term 'Oedipus Complex' in relation to modern day incestuous behaviour. All rather sickening if you ask me...

Addendum:
Hopefully your little outburst was directed at the other guy and not me. I did pick you up on your spelling for the simple reason that if you don't start off spelling the word you intend to write authoritatively about, then do not be surprised if those that are judging your work come down harshly.

By the way, I'm not American and it was wrong to say that. Not all Americans can write in English well either!!!

Answer 2

Psychodynamics=unconcsious suggestions Freud thought the unconcsious suggestions ruled the concsious suggestions and based his theories around it. as an occasion, if a guy had a chilly unattentive mom, he will seek for a mate who's an analogous in attempt to settle on conflicts from his early existence that he had along with his mom. As people become previous, they benefit extra advantageous administration over their concsious (ego) while babies are ruled by potential of their unconcsious (identity). little ones do issues because of take heed to and now with out seen outcomes. The superego is in fact storage for morals and values. yet in adulthood, in specific circumstances our strikes are pushed by potential of the unconcsious suggestions for motives unrealized by potential of them like the occasion given previously. He used psychoanalysis to verify what from early existence (identity) replaced into inflicting behaviors in adults somewhat of their ego. Psychodynamic thought interior the identity is two easy needs eros (choose for intercourse) and thantos (agrressive damaging impulse). He stated each and every little thing we do is in line with a form of behaviors and the different aspects of our suggestions tries to maintain the needs in examine.
