The Quality of the Mind

Résumé

This book examines the causes of mental illness and psychic-mental suffering, individual and social violence, ideology and utopia, and it proposes a collaboration between neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. As an alternative to the "bad" qualities of the mind, namely the negative feelings, psychoanalysis tries to promote the "good" qualities of the mind, comprising of a positive inner world, in which every kind of positive feeling participates. -- P.
