Description
Jonathan Lear's fully updated second edition of Freud provides a comprehensive introduction and assessment of Sigmund Freud's thought, focusing on its lasting impact on philosophy. The book explores key areas such as the nature of the self and subjectivity, ethics and religion, and human sexuality, highlighting their philosophical significance.
The author examines Freud's fundamental rule - to say whatever comes to mind without censorship or inhibition - and its implications for psychoanalysis, moral psychology, and ethics. This edition includes new sections on psychological structure and object relations, as well as a critique of religion and morality.
