课程简介

课程名称:认识自我 - 自我认知的价值与限制:无意识 概述:本课程探讨了实现自我认知的一个具有挑战性但引人入胜的主题——无意识。心理学家、哲学家以及许多其他领域的学者们在过去一个多世纪中,都提出了一个未能立即反思的心理层面;有些人甚至认为某些无意识的元素无法通过内省来了解。课程将考察一些关于无意识的最有影响力的观点,从西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的理论开始,追溯到现代实验心理学的研究。请注意,您可能会发现有关您无意识的一些事情会令人惊讶,甚至可能令人不安! 本课程由爱丁堡大学与康涅狄格大学的谦卑与信念与公共生活项目合作开发,该项目是一个积极参与的研究项目,得到了约翰·坦普尔顿基金会的慷慨资助。 课程大纲: 1. 开始:本模块将概述课程内容,包括涵盖的话题和待解答的问题,以及完成课程所需的条件。 2. 弗洛伊德的无意识:第一周将介绍弗洛伊德的思想,探讨他作为精神分析最著名的倡导者所做的贡献,尤其是他关于人类行为的许多事实,包括错误、梦境以及表面上似乎不理性的行为的研究。 3. 弗洛伊德的遗产:第二周将探讨20世纪中叶的精神分析理论的发展,特别是安娜·弗洛伊德和梅兰妮·克莱因的研究,关注儿童心理发展及一些与我们日常生活相关的现象,例如移情、反应形成和"气灯效应"。 4. 适应性无意识:第三周将介绍过去三十年关于无意识的研究,侧重于其自动特性,关注无意识的认知和情感处理在演化上的适应性以及带来的挑战。 5. 理性与情感:最后一模块将探讨情感与理性的关系,引用神经科学家安东尼奥·达马西奥的研究,寻求理解理性在不依赖于情感的情况下如何无法正常运作。 6. 期末评估:在此模块中,您将应用对无意识的知识来进行评估。 此课程为希望深入理解自我与无意识之间关系的学习者提供了丰富的理论与实际应用。

Name:Getting started

Description:Here you will get an overview of this course, including the topics covered and questions addressed, as well as what you need complete the course.

Name:The Freudian Unconscious

Description:In this first week of the course we will acquaint ourselves with the ideas of Sigmund Freud, who is probably the most famous advocate and practitioner of psychoanalysis. Shockingly for his time, Freud proposed that many facts of human behavior, including the mistakes we make, what we dream, as well as much behavior that seems on the surface to be irrational, are to be explained as being due to forces in our minds of which we are not conscious. We will look at Freud's reasons for this hypothesis and consider whether those reasons are compelling.

Name:Freud's legacy

Description:In this second week of the course we explore some developments in psychoanalytic theory that were dominant in the middle of the 20th Century. Focusing on the work of Anna Freud (Sigmund Freud's youngest daughter) and Melanie Klein, we will consider some psychoanalytic themes that emerged after Sigmund's death. Both of A. Freud and Klein were intensely interested in the psychological development of children, and we will learn about some of their ideas on this topic. Also, we will consider some phenomena that have potential resonance for our daily lives such as transference, reaction-formation, and what is now termed "gaslighting".

Name:The Adaptive Unconscious

Description:Much of the last three decades of research related to the unconscious mind has focused on its automatic character, and draws attention to the vast extent of cognitive and affective processing that occur with little or no conscious effort. Such processing is thought to have been evolutionarily adaptive in the past, as well as to simplify our daily lives even now. But these processes can also be hard to modify if they are not working for us, and may account for certain biases that seem to perpetuate some current forms of injustice in many of the world's societies. In this third week of the course we will learn about the "adaptive unconscious", paying attention both to the benefits it confers and the challenges it raises.

Name:Rationality and Emotions

Description:In this final module we will consider the relation between emotions and rationality. These are popularly thought to be at odds with one another, and many people hold that to be rational, one must keep emotions at bay. With a focus on the work of neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, we will consider reasons for thinking that one important kind of rationality could not function properly without emotions.

Name:Final assessment

Description:Apply your knowledge of the unconscious!

A challenging but fascinating topic on the way to achieving self-knowledge is the unconscious. For well over a century, psychologists, philosophers, and many others have posited a level of mentality that is not immediately open to introspection; some would even say that certain unconscious elements cannot be known through introspection. This course will examine some of the most influential ideas about the unconscious starting with the work of Sigmund Freud, and follow the development of theories of the unconscious all the way to present research in experimental psychology. But be warned: some of the things you may learn about your unconscious mind may be surprising, and possibly even disturbing! --- This course was created by a partnership between The University of Edinburgh and Humility & Conviction and Public Life Project, an engaged research project based at the University of Connecticut and funded by a generous grant from the John Templeton Foundation.
