Description
Join us for the next instalment of our Political Mind series, featuring a dialogue with Giuseppe Caruso and Professor Bob Hinshelwood.
Social sciences and psychology approach human experience from different angles: society’s demands versus the individual’s inner world. While politics often overlooks unconscious influences, psychoanalysis can neglect social and historical complexity. Hinshelwood brings these perspectives together through a psychosocial model that explores how social forces and unconscious dynamics shape one another.
At a time of global crisis, he examines dehumanisation, alienation, and the merging of human and economic value, offering new ways to understand – and potentially address – these deep-rooted fractures.
