Damasio alludes on page 275 to a connection between the goals of Spinoza and Freud with respect to reason and emotion. Try to elaborate this connection based on our earlier study of Freud's psychodynamic theory. Freud's psychodynamic approach states that human's behaviours are not rational, but mostly motivated by the power from both internal and external factors-----conscious, unconscious and wills. It also reveals that the how those factors work in people's daily emotion and behaviour. According to this theory, human are driven by their Id unconsciously, like animals, but they will also consciously create something called superego to against Id and control themselves. Both Freud and Spinoza believes that there are something inside human being can work beyond instinct, and human could control their emotion conciously as long as they understand where those emotion come from and why. Furthermore, by understanding those, they might also get the power to control and even replace those emotions( like replace them into A positive way from native way, and it is how Freud's psychodyanamic works).
