摘要

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 Freud's view suggests that religion is an outdated method for controlling human behavior, akin to a collective neurosis.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
