Part 2 of the Masterclass: Between Philosophy and Psychoanalysis with a contribution from Frank Ruda Birkbeck, University of London

Transcript

Summary

The transcript features a detailed philosophical and psychoanalytic masterclass discussing complex themes such as subjectivity, freedom, fatalism, and the ontological implications of Kant and Hegel's philosophies. It explores the dialectical nature of reality, critiques naive notions of freedom as capacity, and advocates a fatalistic yet comic approach to freedom, emphasizing the necessity of embracing contingency and predestination. The discussion also touches on the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis, the role of theory, and contemporary socio-political critiques.
