[Spanish] - ¿Qué es 'el Yo' en Psicología?: Psicologia Para Sanar

"En la teoría de Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) el Yo es entendido como la parte consciente de la mente, que debe satisfacer los impulsos instintivos e inconscientes del Ello teniendo en cuenta las exigencias del mundo externo y de la propia conciencia -el Superyó, constituido por normas sociales interiorizadas. El Yo o la identidad sería, por tanto, una instancia intermedia entre la biología de un individuo y el mundo que lo rodea. Según Freud sus funciones incluyen la percepción, el manejo de información, el razonamiento y el control de los mecanismos de defensa. Su discípulo Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) definió el Yo como el núcleo de la consciencia; todo fenómeno psíquico o experiencia vital que sea detectado por el Yo pasa a ser consciente. Así, el sentido del Yo se entiende como una estructura compleja con un doble componente: somático y psíquico."

The Meaning of Truth

"The Meaning of Truth by William James is a collection of essays exploring the nature of truth through the lens of pragmatism. James argues that truth is not a fixed, abstract concept but rather a practical relationship between ideas and their consequences. He proposes that the 'truth' of an idea lies in its ability to guide action and produce positive results in the world. This pragmatic approach to truth contrasts with traditional philosophical views that often emphasize the correspondence between ideas and reality."

The Varieties of Religious Experience

"There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life. We must make search rather for the original experiences which were the pattern-setters to all this mass of suggested feeling and imitated conduct. These experiences we can only find in individuals for whom religion exists not as a dull habit, but as an acute fever rather. But such individuals are 'geniuses' in the religious line; and like many other geniuses who have brought forth fruits effective enough for commemoration in the pages of biography, such religious geniuses have often shown symptoms of nervous instability. Even more perhaps than other kinds of genius, religious leaders have been subject to abnormal psychical visitations. Invariably they have been creatures of exalted emotional sensibility. Often they have led a discordant inner life, and had melancholy during a part of their career. They have known no measure, been liable to obsessions and fixed ideas; and frequently they have fallen into trances, heard voices, seen visions, and presented all sorts of peculiarities which are ordinarily classed as pathological. Often, moreover, these pathological features in their career have helped to give them their religious authority and influence."

Pragmatism

"William James' Pragmatism is a seminal work in American philosophy that explores the practical implications of ideas and beliefs. James argues that the truth of an idea lies in its practical consequences. In other words, an idea is true if it works and is useful. This pragmatic approach emphasizes the importance of experience and experimentation in determining the validity of knowledge. The book delves into various philosophical concepts, including truth, meaning, and morality, through a pragmatic lens. James challenges traditional philosophical methods that prioritize abstract reasoning and instead advocates for a more concrete and action-oriented approach to understanding the world."
