From its inception psychoanalysis claimed not merely to be an effective therapy for psychological suffering, but to shed light on the human condition. But what kind of insight does psychoanalysis offer? This paper locates psychoanalysis in the western philosophical tradition, arguing that psychoanalysis provides not only theoretical wisdom about the human, but practical wisdom of a peculiar kind. The human mind, through its self-conscious understanding can be immediately and directly efficacious in shaping its own structure.
从一开始，精神分析就声称不仅是一种治疗心理痛苦的有效疗法，而且能阐明人类状况。但是精神分析提供了什么样的洞察呢？本文将精神分析置于西方哲学传统之中，认为精神分析不仅提供了关于人类的理论智慧，还提供了一种独特的实践智慧。人类的心灵通过其自我意识的理解，能够在塑造自身结构方面立即且直接地发挥作用。
