Description
Otto Rank's major statement on the relationship between art and the individual and society explores the human urge to create in all its complex aspects. Drawing on his knowledge of psychology and psychoanalysis, Rank examines how artistic expression is linked to broader cultural and social contexts, including religion, mythology, and institutions. This book ranges widely through anthropology and cultural history to gain a broad understanding of human nature. By considering the intersections between art, neurosis, and society, Rank offers insights into the creative impulse that drives individuals and shapes our collective culture. With its broad scope and in-depth analysis, this work has had an important influence on many writers and thinkers since its publication in 1989.
