Document Summary
Elizabeth wright chapter 2 : the chapter has three sections: Art: she goes through a set of concepts and definitions. See if we can place them in a context of western philosophy. Juxtapose them with other psychological ideas: topography (two maps that aren"t mutually exclusive, but overlap) They are not separate, but extensions of the same thing. You want something but you cant get it now but ultimately if you want you can have your pleasure. They are in the service of what freud would come to call the life drives. Death drive - we all want to die in our own way, we all want to take our own root to death and it works in conflict with the life drive. Both drives work in the face and in response to necessity: there are 3 gods in freudians psychoanalysis three points of the freudian triangle. Ananke necessity: all these perspectives .
