TLDRIn this video, Freud's psychoanalytic theory is discussed, with a focus on its interpretation of religious phenomena. Freud's system reduces human behavior to fundamental sexual and aggressive drives managed by different aspects of the psyche: the id, superego, and ego. He presents this model where the id is associated with primal drives, the superego internalizes parental prohibitions, and the ego mediates between these demands. Freud argued that religious beliefs function as societal superegos, controlling aggressive and sexual behavior, and envisioned a future where science, particularly psychoanalysis, would replace religion in managing these drives. Freud's view suggests that religion is an outdated method for controlling human behavior, akin to a collective neurosis.

Freud's psychoanalytic theory examines how religious phenomena are interpreted through his lens of human behavior driven by sexual and aggressive drives. Freud categorizes human consciousness into three levels: Conscious (current awareness), Preconscious (retrievable awareness), and Unconscious (repressed memories and desires). The Unconscious is driven by the ID, representing internal drives of libido and thanatos. As children develop, the Superego, an internalized parental conscience, arises near the aggressive drive according to Freud. The Ego, balancing the Id's drives and the Superego's control, deals with reality calmly. Freud compares societal evolution to individual development: primitive humans led by the Id, and civilization's progress via the Superego's taboos, paralleling religion as an internalized Superego. He believed religion, a control mechanism for sex and aggression, would be replaced by science and psychoanalysis, leading humanity to outgrow its need for religion.

Welcome to the headless professor video series.
00:00:04
This one is about Freud's
00:00:07
psychoanalytic theory and how it interprets
00:00:11
religious phenomena. Freud's system of psychoanalysis
00:00:17
attempted to reduce human behavior
00:00:21
to sexual and aggressive drives.
00:00:24
Now, no form of
00:00:27
human activity or thought was
00:00:31
immune to analysis
00:00:35
by Freud's system. He tried to explain
00:00:38
everything from fairytales,
00:00:41
to jokes, to slips of the tongue.
00:00:46
Freud viewed the human mind as three different levels:
00:00:50
CONSCIOUS, things that we are aware of,
00:00:54
PRECONSCIOUS
00:00:57
things that we can be come aware of and
00:01:00
voluntarily bring them into consciousness, and
00:01:04
UNCONSCIOUS, things that are beyond our normal
00:01:08
waking consciousness and we cannot voluntarily
00:01:12
bring these thoughts into mind.
00:01:16
So, the thoughts that are unconscious
00:01:19
would be memories and wishes
00:01:23
that have been REPRESSED. The reason that these memories have been repressed
00:01:29
is because
00:01:30
they deal with our aggressive drive, THANATOS,
00:01:34
or the sexual drive, LIBIDO.
00:01:37
Now, these unconscious forces
00:01:41
existed in a structural region of the mind
00:01:45
called the ID. Now, the way to remember id
00:01:49
Look at the spelling, the I and the D and think of it
00:01:53
as if it stood for INTERNAL DRIVES.
00:01:57
This region of the mind is the very first
00:02:02
to exist in the young child. Freud viewed the young child
00:02:06
just as a seat of these uncontrolled, internal drives.
00:02:11
What happens over the next few years
00:02:15
of life, ages 1 to 3, is the growth of a CONSCIENCE.
00:02:19
something that makes the child
00:02:23
feel guilt and provides the kind of internal control.
00:02:27
That conscience Freud called the SUPEREGO.
00:02:30
and it really was an internalization
00:02:35
of the parents telling the child,
00:02:38
NO, NO. Notice that the superego is over here on the
00:02:43
left side of the diagram, close to
00:02:46
the aggressive drive of THANATOS.
00:02:49
That's because Freud thought
00:02:53
the superego got its energy from
00:02:58
this aggressive drive. It internalized
00:03:01
the force of aggression and actually turned aggression
00:03:06
against itself, against the id, in order to control
00:03:10
the drives of the id.
00:03:14
The last part of the mind to develop in Freud's model
00:03:18
was the EGO, the sense of the individual self,
00:03:23
the part of the self that actually had the responsibility
00:03:26
of dealing with the external world.
00:03:30
Ideally, Freud thought that the
00:03:33
healthy individual would develop a
00:03:37
strong and stable ego capable of
00:03:41
balancing the competing demands of the
00:03:44
id for immediate expression of the sexual and aggressive drives,
00:03:48
and the superego that
00:03:51
sought to repress the sexual and aggressive drives.
00:03:55
Now, the ego also wants to control the
00:04:00
sexual and aggressive drives, but will do so in a more
00:04:04
calm manner, and one that is
00:04:07
less neurotic. When Freud
00:04:12
viewed human societies and the development of civilization
00:04:16
he thought that it paralleled the development of the individual.
00:04:20
So think of ancient humans,
00:04:24
so-called primitive man, as being driven by
00:04:28
his id, according to Freud, and then what permitted
00:04:31
tribal culture to exist was
00:04:35
the development of a superego. Various kinds of
00:04:38
taboos that would prevent sexual and aggressive
00:04:43
tendencies from working out. It is in this context
00:04:47
that Freud viewed religion.
00:04:51
Freud thought that religion was merely a form of the internalized superego
00:04:56
designed to control be aggression and
00:04:59
sex of the id. Freud's hope for the future
00:05:04
was that just as the ego
00:05:08
replaced the task of the superego in the developing individual,
00:05:12
so in the developing civiliization
00:05:16
we would have religion be replaced
00:05:20
by science, and of course when Freud talked about science he thought
00:05:24
his own system of psychoanalysis
00:05:27
was scientific. In other words, in the future we're not going to need religion
00:05:33
to help us control our sexual and aggressive drives
00:05:36
will be psychoanalyzed and be healthy like that.
00:05:41
Therefore, if we look at Freud's view
00:05:44
of the future, he thought that
00:05:47
mankind would outgrow the need for religion.
00:05:52
Religion was not much better than an infantile
00:05:56
neurosis, a very primitive and only partially effective way
00:06:01
of controlling sex and aggression,
00:06:04
a technique that mankind would eventually
00:06:08
outgrow
