Psychology for intelligent people

Education

Sapere aude! Have the courage to know! is therefore the motto of the Enlightenment.
Was is Aufklärung? by Inmanuel Kant

"It is clear, Socrates, that the soul is like the divine, and the body like the mortal.
... it is the mind which sets in order and causes everything"

With Borges: in quest of the soul
from Socrates to Lacan and beyond

Guided by the Word, as Freud indicates, strictly speaking psychoanalysis is a cure through love.

This is a seminar in the authentic sense of the word. A group partaking in study and open to every person professing a deep interest in the real thing psychology. Understanding, for such is our goal, with a good commitment to work out the mind, set as it is in quest of truth from the beginning. Meaning thus we resource our understanding tracing all idea in context, from the wisdom of Socrates to its ultimate formulations in the teaching of Lacan and beyond; guided in our steps through the labyrinth of ideas by the immortal intellectual poet Jorge Luis Borges.

Nota Bene: The seminar runs by groups of 4 to 8 persons reunited for this purpose. The meetings are held online through free video-conference technology. A seminar could also run in a particular location where participants want to attend in person.
