About This Item
Princeton. 1995. Princeton University Press. 1st American Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0691034257. Translated from the French by Carol Cosman. 176 pages. hardcover. keywords: Philosophy Psychology Freud. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Offering a critical view of all the texts in which Wittgenstein mentions Freud, Bouveresse immerses us in the intellectual climate of Vienna in the early part of the twentieth century. Although we come to see why Wittgenstein did not view psychoanalysis as a science proper, we are nonetheless made to feel the philosopher's sense of wonder and respect for the cultural task Freud took on as he found new ways meaningfully to discuss human concerns. Intertwined in this story of Wittgenstein's grappling with the theory of the unconscious is the story of how he came to question the authority of science and of philosophy itself. While aiming primarily at the clarification of Wittgenstein's opinion of Freud, Bouveresse's book can be read as a challenge to the French psychoanalytic school of Lacan and as a provocative commentary on cultural authority. inventory #21585 ISBN: 0691034257.
