GUERRERO RAMOS, Miguel Ángel. HUMAN PLEASURE AND THE SOCIAL PERCEPTION OF JUSTICE: TOWARDS A PSYCHOLOGICAL THEORY OF STRUCTURAL AFFECTIONS. Univ. philos. [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.70, pp.43-63. ISSN 0120-5323.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.uph35-70.phpj.

Human pleasure is considered from various points of view as a crucial internal and vital impulse. However, we relate to it with ambivalence, since it is also a space for institutional control and social repression in multiple levels. Pleasure also plays a crucial role in our perception of justice, and hence it might also play a key role in an investigation of the unconscious psychology of society. This article, therefore, defends the need for a critical theory that links the psychological, philosophical, and sociological aspects of pleasure with the various forms of domination in modern capitalist and consumer society.

Palabras clave : pleasure; unconscious; perception; justice; Critical Theory.
