The Feeling of Certainty argues that conversely this most ordinary of feelings plays a key role in shaping identity formation, social exclusion, prejudice, and commitment to political causes. The authors question what it means for the subject to feel certainty about her or his relationships to self and others. From where does the feeling of certainty originate, and how does it differ from modes of thought that are open to scepticism about the order of things? They draw on a wide range of theories, including those of Freud, Klein, Lacan, Wittgenstein, Bion, and Jung, challenging readers to consider the world of ideologies, symbols, and stereotypes in which certainty is entrenched, as well as the inter- and intra-psychic processes and defence mechanisms which form the unconscious foundation of the experience of certainty. This collection will offer valuable insight to scholars of psychology, politics, social science and history. 410 0$aStudies in the Psychosocial,$x2662-2629 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aSelf 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aRacism in the social sciences 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aSelf and Identity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150 606 $aPolitical Sociology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170 606 $aSociology of Racism$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22260 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology). 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aRacism in the social sciences. 615 14$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aSelf and Identity. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aSociology of Racism. 676 $a155.2 676 $a302 702 $aMintchev$b Nikolay$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHinshelwood$b R.
