O ovoj e-knjizi
Excerpt: "Sexuality is the most powerful factor in individual and social existence; the strongest incentive to the exertion of strength and acquisition of property, to the foundation of a home, and to the awakening of altruistic feelings, first for a person of the opposite sex, then for the offspring, and, in a wider sense, for all humanity. Thus all ethics and, perhaps, a good part of æsthetics and religion depend upon the existence of sexual feeling. Though the sexual life leads to the highest virtues, even to the sacrifice of the ego, yet in its sensual force lies also the danger that it may degenerate into powerful passions and develop the grossest vices. Love as an unbridled passion is like a fire that burns and consumes everything; like an abyss that swallows all,—honor, fortune, well-being."
O autoru
Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing (1840-1902) was a pioneering Austro-German psychiatrist whose work laid the groundwork for modern sexology and forensic psychiatry. Born in Mannheim, Germany, Krafft-Ebing pursued medical studies at the University of Heidelberg, where he developed an interest in the human mind's complexities. His career spanned various academic and clinical positions, including professorships at the universities of Strasbourg, Graz, and Vienna.Krafft-Ebing's research was groundbreaking, delving into areas of human sexuality and mental disorders that were largely taboo in the 19th century. He was one of the first to systematically study and document sexual behaviors and deviations, challenging prevailing moral and medical norms. His work provided a clinical framework for understanding sexual pathology, influencing both contemporary and future psychiatric practices.Controversy often surrounded Krafft-Ebing, particularly due to his candid discussions of topics like homosexuality, fetishism, and sadomasochism. His willingness to address these subjects in a scientific manner was revolutionary, contributing to the gradual destigmatization of various sexual orientations and behaviors. His ideas resonated with and influenced contemporary writers and thinkers, including Sigmund Freud, who expanded on Krafft-Ebing's theories in psychoanalysis.Krafft-Ebing's legacy is enduring, as he helped shift the perception of sexual and mental health issues from moral failings to medical conditions deserving of empathy and scientific inquiry. His bold approach to taboo subjects continues to inspire modern discussions on sexuality and mental health, making him a pivotal figure in the history of psychiatry.
