Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline In Dialogue with Martin Buber and Gabriel Marcel

Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline In Dialogue with Martin Buber and Gabriel Marcel

The great existential psychiatrist Ludwig Binswanger famously pointed out to Freud that therapeutic failure could only be understood as the result of something which could be called a deficiency of spirit. Binswanger was surprised when Freud agreed asserting Yes spirit is everything. However spirit and the spiritual realm have largely been dropped from mainstream psychoanalytic theory and practice. This book seeks to help revitalize a culturally aging psychoanalysis that is in conceptual and clinical disarray in the marketplace of ideas and is viewed as a theory in crisis no longer regarded as the primary therapy for those who are suffering. The author argues that psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy can be reinvigorated as a discipline if it is animated by the powerfully evocative spiritual moral and ethical insights of two dialogical personalist religious philosophers—Martin Buber a Jew and Gabriel Marcel a Catholic—who both initiated a Copernican revolution in human thought. In chapters that focus on love work faith suffering and clinical practice Paul Marcus shows how the spiritual optic of Buber and Marcel can help revive and refresh psychoanalysis and bring it back into the light by communicating its inherent vitality power and relevance to the mental health community and to those who seek psychoanalytic treatment. | Psychoanalysis as a Spiritual Discipline In Dialogue with Martin Buber and Gabriel Marcel

The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

Martin Frobisher's third (1578) voyage to Baffin island was the consequence of flawed logic and excessive optimism on the part of the adventurers of the ephemeral 'Company of Cathay'. Their original intention - to find a north-western route to the Far East - had been largely forgotten following the imagined discovery of gold - and silver-bearing ore in Meta Incognita (the Unknown Limits) as Elizabeth I had named the forbidding and icy landscape which Frobisher and seventeen mariners had first sighted two years earlier. This was to be the English nation's first experience of a 'gold-rush' and if many refused to be swayed by the promise of an empire to rival that of Spain others including the Queen herself and many of her Privy Councillors allowed their cupidity to override all caution. As the likelihood of future profits was downgraded in successive assays of the mineral samples the adventurers accepted that a much larger expedition would be required to extract sufficient ore to provide an adequate return upon monies already spent. The result - a fleet of fifteen ships crewed by almost five hundred men - remains the largest fleet ever to have visited Baffin Island. Their travails in arctic seas near-comic failures of navigation and the backbreaking task of mining the largest possible amount of mineral ore in the time allowed by the brief arctic summer were recorded in an unsurpassed body of eyewitness reports all of which for the first time have been assembled in a single volume. Supplemented by extremely detailed and opprobrious (though substantially accurate) accusations regarding Frobisher's role in this enterprise by his ex-partner the merchant Michael Lok these records provide a graphic poignant and often humorous picture of a voyage which foreshadowed the glorious failures of a later age of English empire-building. | The Third Voyage of Martin Frobisher to Baffin Island 1578

Verstehen The Uses of Understanding in the Social Sciences

Verstehen The Uses of Understanding in the Social Sciences

In late nineteenth-century German academic circles the term verstehen (literally understanding or comprehension) came to be associated with the view that social phenomena must be understood from the point of view of the social actor. Advocates of this approach were opposed by positivists who stressed the unity of method between the social and natural sciences and an external experimental and quantitative knowledge. Although modified over time the dispute between positivists and antipositivists-nowadays called naturalists and antinaturalists-has persisted and still defines many debates in the field of philosophy of social sciences. In this volume Michael Martin offers a critical appraisal of verstehen as a method of verification and discovery as well as a necessary condition for understanding. In its strongest forms verstehen entails subjectively reliving the experience of the social actor or at least rethinking his or her thoughts while in its weaker forms it only involves reconstructing the rationale for acting. Martin's opening chapter offers a reconsideration of the debate between the classical verstehen theorists-Wilhelm Dilthey Max Weber R. G. Collingwood-and the positivists. Chapters 2 and 3 deal with positivist critiques of verstehen as a method of social scientific verification and understanding. In the subsequent chapters Martin considers contemporary varieties of the verstehen position and argues that they like the classical positions they conflict with the pluralistic nature of social science. Chapter 4 discusses Peter Winch's and William Dray's variants of verstehen while chapters 5 through 9 consider recent theorists-Karl Popper Charles Taylor Clifford Geertz-whose work can be characterized in verstehenist terms: In his conclusion Martin defines the limitations of the classical and recent verstehen positions and proposes a methodological pluralism in which verstehen is justified pragmatically in terms of the purposes and contexts of inquiry. This volume is the only comprehensive and sustained critique of verstehen theory currently available. It will be of interest to sociologists philosophers political scientists and anthropologists. | Verstehen The Uses of Understanding in the Social Sciences
