In the highly mysterious tale Prometheus, Kafka makes some changes to the Greek legend. Its edition reads: "The gods are tired, the eagles are tired, the wound is tired and healed." I would further rework Kafka's version, turning it into an intrapsychic scene: the modern successful man does violence to himself and struggles with himself to lead. As we know, Prometheus also brought work to mankind when he gave fire to mortals. Today's subject of achievement sees himself as free, although, like Prometheus, he is bound. The eagle eating the ever-regenerating liver can be interpreted as the subject's alter ego. From this point of view, the relationship between Prometheus and the eagle is self-exploitation. Pain in the liver, an organ that cannot actually feel pain, is called fatigue. Prometheus, an object of self-exploitation, was overcome with overwhelming fatigue. Kafka imagines a healing fatigue: the wound wearily closes. It combats "ego fatigue" which wears down and wears down the ego; such fatigue comes from ego excess and repetition. But there is another kind of fatigue; here the ego submits to the world; it is weariness as “more or less of me”, a healthy “weariness that the world trusts”2. Ego fatigue is like loneliness fatigueI want more? Learn more about embedding, examples and help! Academia.edu uses cookies to personalize content, customize ads, and improve your user experience.

His reworking reads "The gods are tired, the eagles are tired, the wound is tired, healed." I would revise Kafka's version even more and turn it into an intrapsychic scene: violence and war with oneself. As you know, Prometheus also brought work to mankind by giving fire to mortals. Today's successful man thinks he is free when in reality he is bound like Prometheus. The eagle eating the ever-expanding liver can be interpreted as the subject's alter ego. From this perspective, the relationship between Prometheus and the eagle is one of self-exploitation. Pain in the liver, an organ that does not actually feel pain, is called fatigue. Prometheus, the subject of self-employment, is overcome by an overwhelming weariness. With all this, Kafka predicts healing fatigue: the wound heals tired. It counteracts "I-fatigue" by which the ego is drained and drained; such fatigue is due to the redundancy and repetition of the ego. But there is another kind of fatigue; here the ego is given to the world; it is more-less-I weariness, a healthy "world-trust weariness"2. I am fatigue, like lonely fatigueand world- destroying; it destroys all references to others in favor of narcissistic self-relationships. The psyche of the modern object of success differs from the psyche of the object of disciplining. The ego, as defined by Freud, is a well-known disciplinary object. Freud's psychic apparatus is an apparatus of repression with commands and prohibitions that subjugate and suppress. Like a disciplinary society, the psychic apparatus erects walls, thresholds, borders and guards. For this reason, Freudian psychoanalysis is only possible in repressive societies that have built their organization on the negativity of prohibitions and do's. However, modern society is a successful society; it increasingly freed itself from the prohibitions and the negativity of the commandments and presented itself as a society of freedom. The modal verb that defines the success society is not Freudian need, but can. This social transformation involves an intrapsychic restructuring. The late modern subject has a very different psyche from the docile subject for which Freud intended psychoanalysis. Freud's psychic apparatus is ruled by denial, repression and fear of injury. The ego is the "place of fear."3 The late modern theme of success, on the other hand, is impoverished by negations. Subject to confirmation. If the unconscious were necessarily associated with the negativity of denial and repression, then the subject of late modern achievements would no longer be unconscious. That would be the post-Freudian ego. Freud's unconscious is not an entity that exists outside of time. It is the product of a disciplining society dominated by the negativity of prohibition and oppression that we have long since abandoned. The work done by Freud's ego is primarily related to the fulfillment of duties. To this extent it has something in common with the Kantian object of obedience. Conscience for Kantsuperego position. Kant's moral subject is also subject to "authority" [Gevalt]: "Every man has a conscience and is watched, threatened and usually felt in fear (respect combined with fear) to judge inwardly; and this power which oversees the law in him is not something which he himself (voluntarily) creates, but something inherent in his nature. The Kantian subject, like the Freudian subject, is internally divided. Acts according to the will of the Other; yet this Other is also part of himself: But this primordial intellectual and (as it is thought of duty) moral disposition, called conscience, is distinguished in that, though it is man's conduct with himself, his compulsive reason considers itself to be compelled do so at the request of another person. 5 Based on this division, Kant speaks of a "double self" or "double personality". 6. Moral subject. He is both a defendant and a judge. The object of obedience is not an object of desire or pleasure, but an object of duty. In this way, the Kantian subject performs the obligatory work and represses its "desires". Thus, God, the "all-powerful moral being," is not only an example of punishment and condemnation, but also (and this is a very important fact, rarely given due attention) an example of reparation. As the subject of duty, the moral subject suppresses all inclinations to pleasure in favor of virtue; God, who embodies morality, rewards such painful acts with happiness [Glückseligkeit]. Happiness "distributes in direct proportion to morality [Sittlichkeit]"7. A moral subject who is morally wounded can be absolutely sure of being satisfied. There is no crisis of satisfaction because God does not cheat: he can be trusted. The topic of late modern achievement is not about fulfilling duty. His maxims are disobedience, law and fulfillmentbut freedom, lust and lust. Above all, he expects joy in his work. He acts for pleasure and does not act at the behest of others. Instead, he mainly listens to himself. After all, it has to be the entrepreneur who starts his activity. In doing so, he rids himself of the negativity of the “commanding [territories] other”. However, such freedom from others is not only emancipatory and liberating. The dialectic of freedom means the development of new frontiers. Freedom from others turns into a narcissistic relationship with oneself, leading to many mental disorders touching on the theme of modern day success. The lack of relationship with the other causes a crisis of satisfaction. As recognition, satisfaction is based on the case of the other (or "third party"). It is impossible to reward or acknowledge. For Kant, God is the example of contentment: He rewards and recognizes moral achievements. Because the satisfaction structure is disturbed, the successful person feels compelled to do more and more. The lack of a relationship to the other is thus a transcendental condition for a crisis of satisfaction to occur at all. But modern production conditions are also to blame. Final work as a result of completed work is no longer possible today. Modern production conditions prevent closure. Instead, you work outside. Final forms with beginning and end turn out to be rare. Richard Sennett also attributed the gratification crisis to the narcissistic disorder and the lack of relationship to the other: As a character disorder, narcissism is the opposite of intense self-love. Selfishness is not satisfying, it is self-inflicted; drawing a boundary between yourself and others never means anything new, nothing elseMy self; it absorbs and transforms until one begins to think one can see oneself in another - and then it loses its meaning. . . . Narcissists don't crave experiences, they crave experiences. Always look for the expression or reflection [of himself]. . . . A person drowns in himself. The experience includes an encounter with another. He is changing. Experience, on the other hand, extends the ego into the other, into the world. It compares. Self-love is still defined by negativity because it devalues and repels others in favor of self. The self opposes the other. This is how the other behaves to keep his distance. Self-love means taking an explicit attitude towards another. Narcissism, on the other hand, blurs boundaries. When a person suffers from narcissistic disorder, they become self-absorbed. If the connection with the other disappears, a stable self-image cannot be formed. Sennett correctly associates modern mental disorders with narcissism, but draws the wrong conclusion: the ever-increasing expectation that causes actual behavior to never be satisfactory is the lack of "completion." We avoid the feeling of achieving a goal, because then the experience is objectified; they would have form, shape, and therefore exist independently of you. . . . The self is real only when it is continuous; it is continuous only when one practices self-denial. When closure occurs, the experience seems detached from itself, and as such one feels threatened by loss. The quality of the narcissistic impulse is therefore such that it must be a continuous subjective state. Sennett argues that the narcissistic individual deliberately avoids reaching the goal: inference gives an objectifiable form which, because it has an independent essence, weakens the self. In fact, the opposite is true. The social impossibility of objectively meaningful, definitive forms of closure pushes the subject to narcissistic self-repetition;he does not achieve a gestalt, a stable self-image or character. Thus, we are not talking about the intentional “avoidance” of achieving goals in order to increase self-esteem. Instead, there is never a sense of accomplishment. It's not that the narcissistic subject doesn't want closure. He's unlikely to get there. He disappears and dissolves into the open air. The lack of closeness is mainly due to economic factors: openness and ambiguity contribute to growth. Hysteria is a typical mental illness of the disciplinary community that has witnessed the rise of psychoanalysis. It assumes the negativity of repression, prohibition and denial, which leads to the emergence of the unconscious. Unconscious representations [Triebrepräsentanzen] appear as "transformations" as bodily symptoms that clearly mark the personality. Tantrums exhibit a characteristic morphism. Hence hysteria admits of morphology; this fact distinguishes it from depression. According to Freud, "character" is a negative phenomenon, because it is not formed without the censorship that takes place in the mental apparatus. Therefore, he defines them as "a cathexis settlement of abandoned objects"10. When the ego becomes aware of the ID cathexis of objects, it either allows them to exist or fights them through a process of repression. The character contains a history of repression. It represents a certain relationship between the ego, id and superego. While the hysterical state has a characteristic form, the depressive state is amorphous; it is effectively amorphous. He is a man without character. We can generalize this observation and say that the late modern ego has no character. Karl Schmidt says that …………
