Abby, Patrick, and Dan close out The Project for a Scientific Psychology - and the first volume of the Standard Edition - in its entirety! First, they unpack the key steps of Freud's quantitative argument" from the nature of "Q" to Freud's proposal of different kinds of "neurones" to how (in his view) the whole apparatus works to discharge built-up energy. Then, they turn to the qualitative half of Freud's account, which includes: how Freud relates the perception of pain to the emergence of memory; his schematic formula of a minimal "ego"; and the remarkable capacity of the brain to temporarily satisfy itself through a hallucinatory "primary process." Along the way, they also encounter Freud trying out some new terms for the first time, get a preview of some key material that will appear in Studies on Hysteria and The Interpretation of Dreams, and more!
The promised “chunky bibliography” is available on Patreon.
