Vodolagin, A. V. “Soul of the West”: primary insights
Abstract:
history of the Western philosophy starts with Pythagoras’ initiative when he broke up with the hieratic tradition of the religious and mythological way of thinking, at his own will taking up the responsibilities of a hierophant and declaring the human soul (monade) as the starting point in moving towards the all-encompassing knowledge, so called “godly wisdom”. In this respect, the author viewed the psychological implication of history of the Western philosophy and nowadays fall into the unconscious, appraised psychotherapy and psychoanalysis from the “magic” point of view, talked about the overall obsession of a person and interpreted the myth about the unconscious as an invention of a will towards power.
Keywords:
philosophy, symbol, will, history, unconsciousness, soul, myth, psychoanalysis, being, insanity.
