Reading Freud with Giorgi Maisuradze

Freud’s influence on 20th- and 21st-century culture is so fundamental that it can be said without exaggeration: there is a world before Freud and a world after Freud.

Who was Sigmund Freud, and why does his teaching, developed more than a century ago, remain relevant today?

The answer lies not so much in the absolute correctness of individual ideas, but in psychoanalysis itself — the new perspective on understanding the human being and the world created by humans. The discovery of the unconscious radically changed the image of the human subject, revealing a multidimensional being whose thoughts and actions are driven not only by conscious reasoning, but also by “dark instincts” and unconscious desires. Accordingly, everything created by human hands and minds — political and social institutions, religion, art — is, to a significant extent, an expression of these invisible and obscured drives.

Reading and discussing Freud’s works helps us better understand human nature, our civilization and culture, as well as ourselves.
