Psychology
Psychologists, foundational concepts, source texts, and schools — depth psychology, psychoanalysis, the existential and humanistic counter-traditions.
Psychologists
- Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) — founder of psychoanalysis; the unconscious, repression, dreams, the Oedipus complex, the death drive
- Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) — founder of analytical psychology; the collective unconscious, the archetypes (shadow, anima, self), individuation, the mandala
- Erich Fromm (1900–1980) — humanistic psychoanalyst, Frankfurt School; modern freedom, social character, the mechanisms of escape
- Viktor E. Frankl (1905–1997) — founder of logotherapy, the Third Viennese School; the will to meaning, the existential vacuum, freedom under extremity
