ويقف مفسرا بزوغ الأب الرمزى وتاثيره على مفهوم علم الإجتماع معربا عن موضوعات فلسفية جد عميقة, تتعلق بأصل الرغبة والوعى الإنسانى. ولا يكتفى بذلك بل يتطرق إلى فنيات التحليل النفسى وما تناولها من تعديلات على يد لاكان فى سياق شمولى [ أى يشمل عدة تيارات فكرية] يجمع فيها بين التحليل النفسى والبنيوية والأنثروبولوجيا السوسيرية ونظريات علم الإجتماع والألسنية
Four Lessons of Psychoanalysis was recommended by How To Read Lacan, as an introductory book. The book focuses on four rather vague 'lessons' on Freudian and Lacanain theory. The book however should be tackled after one has done some background reading on Freud and Lacan. I would recommend reading the 'Introducing Lacan' and 'Introducing Freud' books before tackling this rather short and informative book.
It is a relatively concise text. The fact that it requires so little forreading and knowledge about the topic makes it a great book for Freud, Lacan, and psychoanalysis enthusiasts.
You definitely need to already familiarize yourself with Freud and lacan briefly but an hour of research should get you to a competency for this text. It's very brief and brass tacks almost to it's detriment. One would appreciate a longer form of engagement in the QA portions as it seemed these lessons were somewhat editorialized. None the less incredibly helpful if you're not spending too much on a copy or can scare up a pdf
“Question: Do you think there is a biological basis for the unconscious?
No. Everything I have said can only be taken as proof of how far the unconscious is from having a biological basis, of the subversion of the biological by the signifier.”
Of four lessos in this book , only the second is interesting and readable for me ,in which Moustafa explains roughly and briefly demonstrating the basic structure of human nature as the exchange of Language(as the thirdness capable of uniting the pairs) by setting out the notions of sociologists such as Durkheim ,Mercel Mauss , LeviStrauss in order to lead the readers to the concepts of Lacan about Language ,the Other, etc.But the rest of the book are in my opinion unclear in explaining the theories of Freud and Lacan about the Phallus, Symbolic Castration ,Paternal metaphor ,the name of the father ,etc and some of them are different with what I've already understood about them.This last one makes me panic.
رغم صغر حجم هذا الكتاب ، ألا أنه يحمل علماَ جماَ و خلاصة سنين الخبرة و العلم و العمل و يحتاج لمزيد من القراءة المتأنية المنضبطة ، كي تصل إلي الطلب و الرغبة في العلم اللاكاني .
