The Cambridge Companion to Freud (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy)

About this book

Does Freud still have something to teach us? The premise of this volume is that he most certainly does. Approaching Freud from not only the philosophical but also historical psychoanalytical anthropological and sociological perspectives the contributors show us how Freud gave us a new and powerful way to think about human thought and action. They consider the context of Freuds thought and the structure of his arguments to reveal how he made sense of ranges of experience generally neglected or misunderstood. All the central topics of Freuds work from sexuality and neurosis to morality art and culture are covered.
