What is the principle of pleasure?
In psychology, the principle of pleasure is part of the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud including the subconscious or unconscious motivation. According to Freud, ID is part of the mind that is a pleasure searching and instinctive. While the ego component of the mind is trying to keep ID realistically and intelligently under control, the ID itself is unable to be rational, only self -evaluation. In the two essays, which began in 1920, "out of the principle of pleasure" and "ego and id", he starts on his psychoanalytic concepts.
Freud's principle concept of pleasure was greatly influenced by Aristotle's work "physics", which claims that humans, like animals, are instinctively ordered to seek satisfaction and avoid pain. Aristotle states that what is separated or separated is people from animals "rational principle". According to Aristotle, although human beings and "brutes" are congenital to find satisfaction for hunger, thirst and sexual forces, people do not and should not be morally controlled by these instinctive needsAmi. The "rational principle" that people have an initial drive for pleasure without morality.
In Freud's psychoanalytic approach, the ego balances ID to prevent people from becoming absolutely selfish and self -destructive. Personal urgent urge is able to be balanced by common sense. Intelligent thinking can rule out control of the principle of pleasure. While the ego is organized and rational, ID is disorganized and impulsive.
The third accessory involved in the functioning of the mind in Freud's theory of ID and ego is a superego. Superego is a step further than the ego in managing the search ID of satisfaction. Rather than being a voice of reason alone, it is also critical. The superego brings blame or anxiety in terms of the principle of pleasure of ID too long would an individual would cheat on his husband. In this way, the superego is the "moral principle", while the ego is the "principle of reality" and ID is the "principle of pleasure".
ID is balanced asEgem, so supesege, so the drive for pleasure is guided by reason and morality. The studies were supported by Aristotle and Freud's claim that animals did not have the natural ability of self -control as humans. If there is no balance in humans, the individual has no or limited self -control and is often unable to control his impulses. It should be noted that not all people believe in the balance of the principle of pleasure. For example, hedonism is a philosophy that basically holds that the pleasure of pain is good in itself.
