This book outlines a new model for global social justice movements that is based on Freud and Lacan’s central insights regarding the unconscious, repetition, drives, and transference. Since most of our current social issues are global in nature, Bob Samuels convincingly argues that we need a global solution, but that global solidarity is blocked by narcissistic nationalism and the capitalist death drive. In examining contemporary social movements for global justice, Samuels articulates a comprehensive theory of non-pathological social solidarity, and argues that in the age of multinational corporations and global climate change, we need a new model of global justice and government that requires an understanding of analytic neutrality and free association. This book uses psychoanalytic theories and practices to explain how someone like Trump can rise to power, and explores why liberals have failed to provide a convincing or effective political alternative. It will be compelling reading to students and teachers in a range of psychological and political disciplines, and to anyone interested in psychoanalysis and current politics.

The Psychoanalytic Understanding of Consciousness, Free Will, Language, and Reason: What Makes Us Human? (Robert Samuels, 2023-5-8)
The Psychoanalytic Understanding of Consciousness, Free Will, Language, and Reason examines the ways in which we can use psychoanalysis in order to better understand humanity and explores the question of what makes us human.
For thousands of years, thinkers have been trying to define what makes us human. Some of the main questions they have asked is: What is consciousness? Do we have free will? Do animals use language? And what does reason mean? Samuels argues that we need to better understand the psychoanalytic approach to human nature in order to answer these questions, as well as using it to provide a new way of understanding issues such as addiction, political conflict, ideology, and destructive personal relationship.
(Mis)Understanding Freud with Lacan, Zizek, and Neuroscience (Robert Samuels, 2022)
This book sets out to clarify five key Freudian concepts (the pleasure principle, the primary processes, the unconscious, transference, and the reality principle) elaborated early on in Freud’s work but, it is argued, rarely understood—even by psychoanalysts themselves. It examines in turn the post-Freudian paradigms employed in neuropsychoanalysis, Lacan, Zizek, object relations, and psychoanalytic approaches to identity politics, and in doing so reveals the extent to which they have been distorted and repressed in these new contexts. Over the course of the book the author demonstrates how Freud’s unpublished Project for a Scientific Psychology can be seen as a complete system of core concepts that both ground psychoanalysis in neurology and also introduce a vital challenge to the brain sciences. This book will appeal to students and scholars of psychoanalysis, clinical psychology, and psychoanalytic theory.
Freud for the Twenty-First Century: The Science of Everyday Life (Robert Samuels, 2019)
This book places Freud’s theory of the reality principle in relation to both everyday experience and global issues of the 21st century and illustrates how it may be practically applied. Arguing against more critical recent accounts of Freud’s science, the author seeks to show how one might apply the scientific method to everyday life. It demonstrates how Freud contributes to a better understanding of reason and how this in turn can be used to unravel the role of unreason in both politics and personal relationships.
Including critical examinations of topics such as Narcissism, Victimhood and Empathy, this engaging reappraisal of Freud’s relevance to contemporary life offers fresh insights for psychology, psychoanalysis and cultural theory; as well as practical guidance for a general reader.
Psychoanalyzing the Politics of the New Brain Sciences (Robert Samuels, 2017)
https://www.amazon.com/Psychoanalyzing-Politics-New-Brain-Sciences/dp/3319718908
This book argues that neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and behavioral economics often function as a political ideology masquerading as a new science. In looking at works by Antonio Damasio, Steven Pinker, Richard Thaler, Cas Sunstein, and John Tooby, Robert Samuels undertakes a close reading of the new brain sciences, and by turning to the works of Freud and Lacan, offers a counter-discourse to these new emerging sciences. He argues that an unintentional political manipulation of scientific thinking serves to repress the psychoanalytic conception of the unconscious and sexuality as it reinforces neoliberalism and promotes the drugging of discontent.
This innovative book is intended for those interested in science, psychoanalysis, and politics and offers a new definition of neoliberal subjectivity.

Enactivist Interventions: Rethinking the Mind (Shaun Gallagher, 2017) (SoA)
In GallagherIs cognition in the head or in the world, or in some mix of brainy and worldly processes? Continuing research on embodied cognition in phil- osophy of mind and the cognitive sciences has motivated numerous debates about questions such as this. There’s a strong tradition in both philosophy of mind and cognitive science that takes cognition to be a fully in-the-head event. In this introductory chapter I’ll discuss a few of the more recent versions of this view. I’ll then begin to sketch the contrasting view of enactivism, an embodied cognition approach that has roots in phenomenology and pragmatism.
Enactivist approaches to cognition suggest that, at least in basic (perception- and action-related) cases, cognitive processes are not just in the head, but involve bodily and environmental factors. This view clearly poses a challenge to what has been the standard science of cognition, especially to cognitive neuroscience, and to any science that claims to provide full and exclusive explanations in terms of one factor, e.g., neural processing. If cognition is not reducible to brain processes, or to any other single factor, and if indeed it does involve many other aspects of embodiment and environment, then how precisely should a scientific study of the mind proceed? Can there be an enactivist science of mind? In sketching out an answer to this question, a number of issues, involving intentionality, representation, affect, agency, and so on, come into focus and I address these issues more fully in subsequent chapters.

Disruption of the sense of agency: From perception to self-knowledge (2010) (SoA)
Abstract
Different planes of disruption may result in a loss or breakdown of the sense of agency. They may pertain to the different levels of perceptual, attentional, and psychiatric disorders, and generally they have in common a loss of the sense of control and a disruption of binding between intentions and actions. In some cases, they imply a deficit in the sense of ownership, which may be subdivided into ownership for body-actions and for thought-action. In other cases, what is lost is the sense of agency itself, similarly divided into agency for action and agency for thoughts. This chapter discusses disruption of the sense of agency, taking into account these different levels of analysis. Specifically, we consider perceptual deficits, such as blindsight and arm illusions, which are related to agency misidentification, as well as attentive deficits, which are related, by contrast, to disruption in attention allocation; for example, as in neglect syndrome. Finally, the psychiatric disturbances schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disturbs are considered as examples of psychological impairments in the perception of agency.

What Is the Sense of Agency and Why Does it Matter? (2016) (SoA)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5002400/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agency_(sociology)
The overall concept of agency has existed since the Enlightenment where there was debate over whether human freedom was expressed through instrumental rationality or moral and norm-based action. John Locke argued in favor of freedom being based on self-interest. His rejection of the binding on tradition and the concept of the social contract led to the conception of agency as the capacity of human beings to shape the circumstances in which they live.[2] Jean-Jacques Rousseau explored an alternative conception of this freedom by framing it as a moral will. There was a bifurcation between the rational-utilitarian and non-rational-normative dimensions of action that Immanuel Kant addressed. Kant saw freedom as normative grounded individual will, governed by the categorical imperative. These ideas were the point of departure for concerns regarding non-rational, norm-oriented action in classical sociological theory contrasting with the views on the rational instrumental action.[3]
These definitions of agency remained mostly unquestioned until the nineteenth century, when philosophers began arguing that the choices humans make are dictated by forces beyond their control.[3] For example, Karl Marx argued that in modern society, people were controlled by the ideologies of the bourgeoisie, Friedrich Nietzsche argued that man made choices based on his own selfish desires, or the "will to power" and, famously, Paul Ricœur added Freud – as a third member of the "school of suspicion" – who accounted for the unconscious determinants of human behavior.[4] Ludwig Wittgenstein's talk of rule-following and private language arguments in his Philosophical Investigations has also made its way into the discussion of agency, in the work of Charles Taylor for example.[5]

Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will (Robert M. Sapolsky, 2023-10-17)
https://www.amazon.com/Determined-Science-Life-Without-Free-ebook/dp/B0BSKQ5ZDM?ref_=ast_author_dp
One of our great behavioral scientists, the bestselling author of Behave, plumbs the depths of the science and philosophy of decision-making to mount a devastating case against free will, an argument with profound consequences
Robert Sapolsky’s Behave, his now classic account of why humans do good and why they do bad, pointed toward an unsettling conclusion: We may not grasp the precise marriage of nature and nurture that creates the physics and chemistry at the base of human behavior, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Now, in Determined, Sapolsky takes his argument all the way, mounting a brilliant (and in his inimitable way, delightful) full-frontal assault on the pleasant fantasy that there is some separate self telling our biology what to do.
Determined offers a marvelous synthesis of what we know about how consciousness works—the tight weave between reason and emotion and between stimulus and response in the moment and over a life. One by one, Sapolsky tackles all the major arguments for free will and takes them out, cutting a path through the thickets of chaos and complexity science and quantum physics, as well as touching ground on some of the wilder shores of philosophy. He shows us that the history of medicine is in no small part the history of learning that fewer and fewer things are somebody’s “fault”; for example, for centuries we thought seizures were a sign of demonic possession. Yet, as he acknowledges, it’s very hard, and at times impossible, to uncouple from our zeal to judge others and to judge ourselves. Sapolsky applies the new understanding of life beyond free will to some of our most essential questions around punishment, morality, and living well together.By the end, Sapolsky argues that while living our daily lives recognizing that we have no free will is going to be monumentally difficult, doing so is not going to result in anarchy, pointlessness, and existential malaise. Instead, it will make for a much more humane world.
