Why are you so obsessed with me!? In episode 111 of Overthink, Ellie and David untangle envy, jealousy, and admiration, in everything from Sigmund Freud to Regina George. They think through the role of envy in social media and status regulation alongside Sara Protasi's The Philosophy of Envy, and investigate the philosophical lineage of this maligned emotion. Does the barrage of others’ achievements on social media lead to ill-will or competitive self-improvement? Why do we seek to deny our own envies? And how might Freud's questionable theory of 'penis envy' betray the politics of how we assign and deflect desire?Works Discussed Aristotle, Rhetoric Basil of Caesarea, On Envy Christine de Pizan, City of Ladies Justin D'arms, Envy in the Philosophical Tradition Sigmund Freud, Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality, “Analysis Terminable and Interminable” Luce Irigaray, This Sex Which is Not One Plato, Philebus Plutarch, Moralia, “Of Envy and Hatred” Sara Protasi, The Philosophy of Envy Max Scheler, Ressentiment Genesis 4, Exodus 20Snow White (1937) Mean Girls (2004)Overthink epiosdes 60.
