I and He

Sigmund Freud’s “I and It” is a key philosophical and psychological work of the founder of psychoanalysis, in which he formulated his famous three-component structure of human psychology, which became the basis for modern psychology and culture. It distinguishes three key structures: the unconscious “He” (primitive instincts, attitudes and suppressed desires), the “I” (conscious rational beginning trying to interact with the real world) and the “Super-I” (internal censor, morality, consciousness and ideals formed by society and education). The author shows how fragile the position of the conscious “I”, pressed between the blind passions of “He”, the hard demands of “Over-I” and the limitations of the outside world. Written well and deeply, the book explores the mechanisms of the work of the defense of the psyche, the nature of anxiety and the feeling of guilt. “I and It” is a fundamental work that enables us to understand what the human personality is made up of and why we are so often in the power of internal contradictions. ** About what the book is in three words: ** Personality, Conflict, Consciousness. **Who to read:** Everyone who is interested in the organization of human psychic, psychoanalysis and philosophy, students of humanities, as well as readers seeking to understand the nature of their own inner conflicts and emotions.
