Description
Freud and the Non-European is Edward Said's final book, a thought-provoking exploration of the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud's views on identity and culture. Banned by the Freud institute in Vienna, this lecture has been published with an introduction by Christopher Bollas and a response by Jacqueline Rose.
Said examines Freud's assumption that Moses was Egyptian, arguing that this unresolved sense of identity may one day form the basis for a new understanding between Israelis and Palestinians. This nuanced exploration challenges readers to consider the limits of identity and its implications for our understanding of culture and history.
