Description
What do Freudian slips, Josie and the Pussycats, and solving math problems have in common? Psychoanalysis claims to have some answers! Sigmund Freud suggests that unconscious desires, fears, and trauma influence us without us being conscious of them. In pop culture, the unconscious is often depicted as the realm of dirty thoughts and subliminal messages, but does the unconscious actually even exist? In episode 50 (!), Ellie and David explore the unconscious and the existentialist challenge to it from Jean-Paul Sartre.Works DiscussedSigmund Freud, “The Unconscious”Jean-Paul Sartre, Being and NothingnessJosie and the Pussycats (2001)The Exorcist (1973)Karl Popper, Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific KnowledgeStanislas Dehaene, The Code of Consciousness Jacques Hadamard, An Essay on the Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical FieldJacques Derrida, “Freud and the Scene of Writing”Support Overthink on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/overthinkpodcastWebsite | overthinkpodcast.comInstagram & Twitter | @overthink_podEmail | Dearoverthink@gmail.comYouTube | Overthink podcast
