Features: In Western society of the 20th century, there was a stark contrast between "humans" and "things." Behind the prosperity of "things" lay the alienation and oppression of humans. The thinkers of this century sought in their anxieties to find a path for the return of humanity. Psychoanalysts were among the most outstanding figures in this group, not only because of their wisdom but also closely related to their deep concern for people and their strong sense of social responsibility. Freud opened the door to psychoanalysis with the concept of the "unconscious," and his successors continued to explore throughout the entire 20th century. Psychoanalysts delved deeply into issues such as human nature and instinct, human nature and society, human nature and history, human nature and economics, human nature and culture, as well as the conditions under which human nature could develop in an ever-enriching and improving direction. Their research findings profoundly influenced the intellectual and cultural landscape of the 20th century. For Chinese university students, who are currently navigating the waves of the market economy and have already embarked on their life's journey, these insights and references undoubtedly hold great significance.
