商品簡介
Brunner (history, philosophy of science, Tel Aviv U., Israel), in his lengthy new introduction to this reprint of his 1995 work, outlines his contention that politics is a pervasive and essential component of all of Freud's discourse. As background to this idea, he explores the medical and political context of Freud's work then turns to the logic and language of Freud's theory of the mind, discussing how Freud introduced dynamics of dominance and subjugation into the core of the psyche. The dynamics of power in the clinical setting, seen as having created an arena for verbal politics, and Freud's analysis of the family and large-scale social institutions are discussed in the volume's second half.
