Whitehead presented these three lectures at Princeton University in 1929. Although 85 years have passed, his central thesis and his analysis remain remarkably current. The scientific materialism that Whitehead opposed with such vigor continues to dominate in academic circles, and even now those who question that worldview are often accused of being anti-scientific. This is especially true in discussions of the nature of the human mind and its relation to the body (particularly the brain).

What if you knew that something terrible was going to happen? A sudden flash, the words Charing Cross. Four days later, a packed express train comes off the rails outside the station.

El término narcisismo procede de la descripción clínica, y fue elegido en 1899, por Paul Näcke para designar aquellos casos en los que el individuo toma como objeto sexual su propio cuerpo, y lo contempla con agrado, lo acaricia y lo besa hasta llegar a una completa satisfacción. Llevado a este punto, el narcisismo constituye una gran perversión que ha acaparado toda la vida sexual del sujeto, cumpliéndose en ella todas las condiciones que nos ha revelado el gran estudio general de las perversiones.

From 1890 and through the early years of the 20th century, Vienna became a dazzling beacon. The city was powered by an unprecedented number of extraordinary people - artists Klimt and Schiele, thinkers such as Theodor Herzl, and fashion icons like the glamorous Empress Sisi.

Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897-November 3, 1957) was an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, known as one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.

This recording is his lecture on his Orgone theory.

Why listen to a book on Freud? As long as man views guilt as a problem for science instead of religion, the influence of Sigmund Freud will remain lurking in the mind of modern man.
