Il Sole 24 ORE and 24Ore Podcast are set to launch a compelling new series, "Freud. The Discovery of the Unconscious," commemorating 170 years since the birth of Sigmund Freud. This seven-episode weekly podcast, part of their successful History Telling format, promises an accessible yet profound exploration of the psychoanalysis pioneer's life and revolutionary thought.
Unpacking Freud's Intellectual Adventure
The series, available from July 20th across all major audio platforms, meticulously traces Freud's journey from a young doctor in 1883 Vienna through the tumultuous early 20th century. Written by Paolo Colombo, a professor of History of Political Institutions, and Paolo Gomarasca, a professor of Moral Philosophy, both from Università Cattolica, the podcast delves into how Freud's invention of psychoanalysis fundamentally altered Western self-perception. His concepts, including the unconscious, dream interpretation, and the Oedipus complex, as it happens, remain integral to contemporary discourse.
