Siamo abituati a pensare agli scienziati come esempi di rigore e serietà: studiosi integerrimi dediti alla ricerca e lontani dai vizi. Eppure, la storia dimostra che anche loro hanno avuto avventure lisergiche, piuttosto lontane dai concetti di perfezione e integrità morale.

Até hoje alvo de diversas críticas e controvérsias, acusado de charlatanismo, ocultista e até antissemita, Carl Gustav Jung é um dos maiores contribuintes para a psicologia como a conhecemos atualmente. O suíço, que chegou a nutrir uma íntima amizade com Freud, formulou conceitos amplamente utilizados até hoje, como os arquétipos e o processo de individuação. Além disso, contribuiu para o entendimento dos tipos de personalidades e métodos de interpretação de sonhos como um caminho para entender os níveis mais profundos da psique.

È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

Lacan renovou a psicanálise e a aproximou das ciências humanas, como a linguística.

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX. O médico alemão revolucionou o tratamento para as neuroses e deu início ao mais importante aspecto da psicologia: a escuta. Sem isso, a prática clínica— como conhecemos hoje — seria inviável, e Freud teria sido incapaz de teorizar sobre o inconsciente, a sexualidade e os sonhos.

Where do human societies come from? The drive to answer this question took on a new urgency in the nineteenth century, when a generation of archaeologists began to look beyond the bible for the origins of different cultures and civilizations. Zelia Nuttall threw herself into the study of Aztec customs and cosmology, eager to use the tools of the emerging science of anthropology to prove that modern Mexico was built over the ruins of ancient civilizations.

SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) es conocido por ser el fundador del psicoanálisis, una teoría sobre cómo funciona la mente y un método para ayudar a las personas a resolver sus problemas mentales. Desarrolló una nueva visión de la existencia humana que socavó los valores culturales de su época, por lo que en un inicio despertó una gran hostilidad. Pero a medida que el psicoanálisis se difundió, Freud consiguió seguidores en todo el mundo.

Die Boomer nehmen Abschied. Wer zwischen 1955 und 1970 in der Zeit der geburtenstarken Jahrgänge zur Welt gekommen ist, hat den Ruhestand erreicht oder zählt zu den Älteren, die nach und nach ihre Posten freimachen. Die Boomer verbindet das Gefühl, dass es zu viele von ihnen gibt, das spürten sie schon in überfüllten Klassenzimmern und später auf dem Arbeitsmarkt. Daraus resultierte eine Haltung der Skepsis, und die Erfahrung von AIDS und Tschernobyl hat sie in einer entscheidenden Phase ihrer Biografie gelehrt, dass nichts gesichert und gar nichts garantiert ist.
