Question

_______ is to instinct toward life as _______ is to instinct toward death. A) Jean Jacques Rousseau Thomas Hobbes B) Eros; Thanatos C) Jean Jacques Rousseau; Sigmund Freud D) Daryl Bem; Leon Festinger E) Ego; Id

Answer 1

B) Eros; Thanatos

Step-by-step explanation:

Freud identifies two fundamental drives: Eros a drive to live, with a counterpart , a drive to die: Thanatos.

He uses both terms to identify drives related to survival: instincts, like hunger, thrist, and sexual drives.

The death instincts on the other hand, often engage in conflict , as they represent a "inner desire for dying", represented in irrational manners : hurting others, hurting onelself, murder.

He then applies these forces in the study of the subconscious mind in psychoanalysis.
