The Anatomy of the Soul: A New Perspective on Eros, Thanatos, the Psyche, and Love
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This paper aims to map the anatomy of the soul, offering a tangible view of its aspects to enable more effective treatments for social pains. Based on the hypothesis that Eros is the original drive and Thanatos a subordinate consequence, the study moves away from traditional psychoanalysis, focusing not on the balance between the drives but on identifying obstacles that prevent the full realization of Eros. From this understanding, the paper seeks to comprehend how the blockage of these flows can negatively impact emotional and mental health.
