Rekuperacijom želje do održavanja mentalnog zdravlja

Abstract

After the introductory part refers to reflection on desire from an interdisciplinary point of view and points to desire as an important biblical and theological-spiritual concept, the following article elaborates on the disappearance of desire in the changing era. This refers to the fact that the capitalist-consumerist ideology, wanting to make a happy man (homo felix), turned that same man into a slave of the consumerist order, which led to the mortification of desire and to the creation of pseudo-desires and the replacement of desires with needs. In the second part, the work refers to the power of desire, distinguishing it from need and tying it to law and restrictions, because only in this context can desire be desire. The third part of the work, before the conclusion itself, presents the three faces of desire, thematizing envious desire, the desire for the Other that can cure envious desire, and finally deals with the issue of desire for nothing, which is one of the main characteristics of the hypermodern man.
