{"product_id":"9781780490595","title":"Elements of Self-Destruction","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy are humans, who are motivated by self-preservation, also motivated to engage in behaviors that threaten and even extinguish their existence? The present work has given thought to this question and examined the phenomenon of self-destruction through the perspectives of empirical psychology, psychoanalysis, analytical psychology, as well as existential-phenomenological psychology. The themes included in this book are: the emerging understanding of self-destructiveness in culture, religion, philosophy, and psychology; Bion's investigation into the self-destructive capacity of the mind; Heidegger's ontology of Being and the Enframing of technology; and identifying and delineating the 'who' who most experiences the impact of human-to-human destructiveness in our contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brent Potter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52712193163582,"sku":"9781780490595","price":2034.69,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781780490595.jpg?v=1765289203","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781780490595","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
