On Psychoanalysis

While classical psychoanalytic theories may seem outdated, their influence persists. Psychoanalysis remains key to understanding the unconscious, identity, and human subjectivity. Thinkers like Žižek and Butler integrate Freudian and Lacanian ideas with post-structuralist, feminist, and queer theory, while Deleuze and Guattari critique and expand upon them through Marxism and Nietzschean thought. This ongoing dialogue keeps psychoanalysis vital for exploring power, desire, and individuality today.
