- Christina Hendricks begins this lecture by giving some background in a few Freudian ideas and arguments that may help in making sense of the text, and then talks about connections between this text, Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Plato's Republic, and Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, while giving her reading of some of the main points of Freud's arguments. She ends with a quick question about the choice to start the book with a discussion of the "oceanic feeling" only to seemingly drop it, and then argues that we can see it reappear as a theme, in a way, in the end of the book.

I am from India In my view, without Sigmund Freud, no subject and dimension can be properly explained.Sigmund Freud is the best intellectual and genius ever born
very clear! would love to hear another lecture of Christina Hendricks...
Glad to hear you found it useful! You can see more lectures by this professor here: artsone-open.arts.ubc.ca/category/faculty/christina-hendricks/
Good lecture; very thorough and goes through, as far as I remember, all the subjects I took notice in the book. It's night and day in comparison to other summaries, which only touch the book's topics lightly and without an opinionated interpretation.
Bravo on the lecture! The "oceanic feeling" gone into in depth by William James and referred to by Freud here is something that would be in the realm of what others have called something like "Ego Transcendence".
my right ear is lonely
What causes that? Very annoying
Putting a stereo microphone sideways
@@highlandsbookstore9398 the response was to you
Great lecture! I used to give lectures in psychology, though not as good as this. I couldn't keep the students interested. I combined listening to this lecture with listening to the book as an audiobook (not at the same time).
Thank you so much for sharing this
Thank you for sharing such a great lecture.
Congrats on this espetacular lecture!!!!
ahh...thank you soo much for putting this on here. I understand the text so much better now. My presentation is in the bag!!!
+Naomi Dixon No problem! That's the idea with why we share these lectures...to help people understand texts. Or at least, to hear one person's understanding of the texts. Sometimes (often?) there is more than one legitimate interpretation!
+Arts One Open ....
I have subscribed to your page and have recommended you to other students at my university! my grade just came out as a 1st....80% for my presentation. The lecturer explains things in such a way that not only do you understand the complex terms but you enjoy the seminar too!!
Good lecture: I subscribed. Thank You. I like this book a lot. Freud is Brilliant, and, surprisingly, Funny.
Congrats. Clear, concise, accurate, thank you.
A privilege, to be aware of your line of thought.
Really enjoyable, Prof. Hendricks.
+C. Nathan Chavez Thanks so much! (this is Christina Hendricks, behind the Arts One avatar). Glad you enjoyed it/found it useful.
Thank you for making this lecture available, I just finished Civ and its discontents and I keep getting lost. The last chapter is a huge clusterfuck
He’s basically saying that suffering of the individual is essentially inevitable, because man has to sublimate his natural instincts(drives) in order to function in civilized society. His contention was that man is driven towards dominance and is that his inability to express this aggressiveness results in various neuroses.
amazing lecture
great lecture!
"very close friendships" by Leonardo da Vinci got me dead. My man was gay af
very good lecturer
She has a lilting and confident voice. No stuttering. Very interesting woman with a real presence.
Wonderful lecture.
She's a great speaker, delivery is much better than many professors.
Freud’s favourite joke: a brandy drinker was ordered by his doctor to give it up on the chance that might save his failing hearing. As soon as he did, his hearing improved, but when his doctor hailed him to no effect on the street, months later, he knew he’d gone back on it. In a loud voice, he asked the man why. "Solange ich nicht getrunken hab', hab' ich gehört; aber alles, was ich gehört, war nicht so gut wie der Branntwein" ('When I didn't drink, I heard, but nothing I heard was as good as the brandy').
I think the reason as to why the brain wants to repeat traumatic experiences might be to sooth the pain by normalising the event which lead to the trauma.
Yes! Or it might be a survival instinct to remind what the danger was and why one should keep away from it...
@@mammi7699 I think you opinion makes more sense
My left ear enjoyed this
I wonder if Freud would have been humored by the 70s sitcom 'Three's Company' with it's many salacious Freudian slips by the character Jack Tripper.
students are clapping in the end, that's how good it was.
Yeah, Freud is brilliant, I would like to have met him.

That was deadly.
Did you guys stop uploading?
Well done (especially the harder, darker, concluding questions about modern civilization tending toward neurosis). On that topic, may I recommend a work by E. Michael Jones: Degenerate Moderns, Modernity as Rationalized Sexual Misbehavior (of Freud, Margaret Meade, Kinsey, Picasso and others). You may also find Jones's lectures here on UA-cam.
Thanks for the suggestion! And great that Jones also has lectures on UA-cam.
Dat foil cud do wit a nice hug
Freud was a genius. Johnny.
54:12
it is interesting at 27:00ish when she says sublimation is not easy for most people. i thought that was the core concept of Freudian theory, that we shove down painful experience and turn it into pleasureful fantasy to remove the authentic pain from it and help process it.
Maybe i'm thinking of repression.
***** sorry, yes, she explains it at 35 minutes in or so.
Why don't you read a fucking book you degenerate piece of dog shit.
there's no audio
cineusre I just tried it out, and there is audio for me. It is for some reason only in one channel rather than in stereo, though. Not sure why. I'll see if I can fix that!
☮️
sublimation means "..instead of just having sex with everybody, you can be friends with other people". lol. Love it.
More like, "Instead of having sex with only one, you can be friends with many."
People tend to do the earlier when they are in first stage of a relationship.
❤👍🏼👍🏼
I really wish I knew what was going on but I cannot understand and I have a paper due in two days
i feel you :/ i have a paper due this monday
How did the paper turn out?
Great lecture. But how does she not know it was cigars he smoked?
is it why cigars are expensive?
Lecturer is very clever and pretty.
Great voice on her. A pleasure to hear. One can only imagine...
@@trentw.3566 imagine what
Instinct = Will of a person?
I see a lot of Schopenhauer in Freud.
Freud mentions Schopenhauer in Beyond the Pleasure Principle
i'd hit it. great lecture! Instead of "fuzzy" I would just use "intuitive".... but... just nit-picking. This lecture was perfect.
Professor is an extrovert, and probably good in bed. She says she doesn't teach grad students, but not sure if that means she isopen to sleeping with any.

Same concept as of the chakras..
What! And what about the struggle between good and evil? There's no comparison there?
what is dont in love always occurs beyond good and evil

Well, fair enough 👏, ending his life that way. Maybe he had disgusted with life and the suffering it brings to an individuals. All what we have known is suffering, suffering with birth and suffering with death and a lots of suffering while we are a life. And still people want to assume that there is life after death and still want to life it. I think they should read the epic of Gilgamesh and how he gave a brilliant answer to whoever wants to leave forever.
I think she hasn't read Ernest Becker, otherwise she wouldn't find Freud's death instinct intriguing.
read what exactly? it's her opinion
@@pipony8939 The book's title: The Denial of Death. Btw. there is no such thing as opinion. There are tastes and there are facts.
I think I'm in love with her.
Me too. Would love taking classes from her. For some reason she doesn't teach graduate students. Anyway she's a star teacher.
# id & super ego = oil & water .. .. .. ego = emulsifier
analogy probably has its difficulties, but nevertheless a really interesting image
I am discontented with the sound quality. Since I am the only one complaining, maybe there is something wrong with my computer.
DDRS Colonal slave trade ted fred
and then around 29:00, she starts talking about the "unconscious," she makes it sound like an oxymoron, just in her tone of voice. I can see why they pay these kids the big bucks.
Freud didn't know what he was doing!
And you have figured that out?
100 years later, we still discussing freud"s ideas. Who is gonna even remember your name by...tomorrow?
Freud was stupid btw lol
then why did you come here to comment it? wouldnt people figure that already without your help? is he stupid because?
Freud sounds like quite a dope. But analysts made good money -- a lot better than astrologers.
Sometimes they are on to something but often interpretations are off the deep end. Nancy McWilliams is pretty good.
