Sommario/riassunto |
|
It is said that words are like people: One can encounter them daily yet never come to know their true selves. This volume examines what |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
words are—how they exist—in religious phenomena. Going beyond the common idea that language merely describes states of mind, beliefs, and intentions, the book looks at words in their performative and material specificity. The contributions in the volume develop the insight that our implicit assumptions about what language does guide the way we understand and experience religious phenomena. They also explore the possibility that insights about the particular status of religious utterances may in turn influence the way we think about words in our language. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Freud's ""Beyond the Pleasure Principle"" constitutes a major landmark and a real turning point in the evolution of psychoanalytic theory. Pushing aside the primacy of the tension-discharge-gratification model of mental dynamics, this work introduced the notion of a ""daemonic force"" within all human beings that slowly but insistently seeks psychic inactivity, inertia, and death. Politely dismissed by some as a pseudo-biological speculation and rapturously espoused by others as a bold conceptual advance, ""death instinct"" became a stepping stone to the latter conceptualizations of mind's |
