Instincts and their Vicissitudes in Sigmund Freud CHAPTER ONE I. El Poder Magico De Las Piramides Max Toth Pdf Creator. 0 INTRODUCTION The insatiable quest for knowledge, associated with the marvels of nature, introduced man into critical inquiry into things and their causes, human experience and man’s role and prospects in life. In the anal of history, quest for meaning as a quest for knowledge has remained an existential fact in every human endeavor. Hence, it propelled man’s meaning-attaching trait which satisfies his concept of existence. Philosophy as it were has been the vanguard of such innovation traceable from the time of Thales. More still, events and time have rolled out trajectories of philosophy that now constitute different field of studies. Most of these fields hold man as an object of inquiry.

All their concern was to conceptualize man. Since human beings are so complex and mysterious, human behaviour and development are also complex and varied. Various philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, scientists have delved into demystifying this mystery and simplifying the complexities therein. They have made an incredible contribution in understanding man and his place in this world. It is in the light of this that Freud singled out instinct as the only solution to the mystery of human behaviour with his over-emphasis on sex.

Listen to him: The psychic energy comes from the instincts present in the human body which make demands on the mind. These biological instincts he calls drives, and they lead to the excitation of certain regions of the body.

In this way, the psychic energy is derived from biological energy because the body and the mind are constantly in interaction with each other. Every instinct has a source, an aim, an object and the tension or pressure associated with it. So, Freud could explain diverse human behaviours from two instincts namely: the life and the death instincts. However, Freud (1905) overstressed the idea of instinct and advocated for free expression of the sexual instinct which today (partly) accounts for the misconception and banalization of the concept of sex as a pleasure-giving thing, the indiscriminate use of sex which has led to the present day multiplication of sexual diseases like STD, HIV, etc., the anti-natural scientific inventions in the world like genital transplant, cloning, abortion etc, anti-cultural practices like extra-marital sex, pre-marital sex, gay marriage and homosexuality.

Morestill, it is pertinent to know that instincts go with their concomitant vicissitudes. Instincts undergo various vicissitudes in the process of development and in the course of life such as sublimation, repression etc. It is worthwhile to note also that vicissitude here must be confined to the sexual instincts. Therefore, it is in the present writer’s effort to understand the present day’s banalization of sex that he decided to delve into Freud’s idea of sex drive (instinct) as the ‘be – all’ and ‘end- all’ as a bit misleading. It is a clarion call on all to re-channel the sex drive to its appropriate end, and to achieve this, knowledge and indeed self-knowledge is being very much advocated for. 1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Man has always been an object of study. But, in ancient and medieval times, when the cosmocentric and theocentric perspectives prevailed, he was studied together with and subordinately to other primary realities such as the world or God.

It was with Descartes that man became the centre and the point of departure for philosophy, as such. In this way, the modern and contemporary philosophers have obtained a whole new series of images of man, images which have often sparked off great interest. For example; anguished man (Kierkegaard), economic man (Marx), existent man (Heidegger), symbolic man (Cassirer), problematic man (Marcel), erotic man ( Freud) etc. Freud’s work (1923) in its entirety is built on the idea that adult behaviour, both the wholesome and unwholesome alike, are driven by instinctual impulses and desires, which originate in the id in childhood. According to him, the sexual instinct is the source of psychic energy, libido. He upheld that sexual instincts arising in the id are present starting from the earliest weeks of life, and that infants and young children are sexual beings.
