È possibile ricostruire il pensiero di un personaggio poliedrico e camaleontico come Umberto Eco? Stefano Traini, uno dei suoi allievi che oggi insegna Semiotica, ci prova in questo libro: parte dalla tesi di laurea di Eco sul pensiero estetico in Tommaso d’Aquino, prosegue con i suoi studi sulle avanguardie e sulla cultura di massa con i quali si è affermato negli anni sessanta e arriva alla teoria semiotica nella quale Eco affronta con metodo scientifico lo studio dei segni, dei codici, dell’interpretazione.

James Deary, a NYC healthcare organization cofounder and behavioral scientist, never wanted to be a psychic medium. This ability more or less “happened” to him.

La obra y la vida de Sigmund Freud siguen dando tela para cortar. Fue tanto su impacto en la cultura occidental (y más allá) como variadas son las controversias alrededor de su legado. El fundador del psicoanálisis colocó al inconsciente en el centro de la escena. Con ese punto de partida armó teorías que modificaban las maneras de entender la psiquis, la familia, la sociedad y el arte. Miles de terapeutas se siguen formando en base a sus enseñanzas, mientras que otras corrientes lo critican fuertemente. La biografía de Freud ayuda a comprender cómo fue su trayectoria y qué objetivos perseguía con el psicoanálisis.
