Description

Richard Boothby's Freud as Philosopher offers a fresh perspective on Sigmund Freud's ambitious attempt at a general theory of mental functioning, metapsychology. Using Jacques Lacan's work as a key, Boothby reassesses Freud's ideas and provides a new understanding of his thought.

This book provides a detailed analysis of Freud's metapsychology, exploring its key concepts and their relevance to contemporary debates in psychology and psychoanalysis. By examining the relationships between Freud's ideas and those of Lacan, Boothby sheds new light on the development of psychoanalytic thought.

With its clear and concise writing style, Freud as Philosopher is an ideal resource for scholars and students of psychology, psychoanalysis, and philosophy. It is also an important contribution to the ongoing discussion of Freud's work and its continued relevance in the 21st century.
