Description

This book sees Freud as one of the last great exponents of Enlightenment rationalism; yet he also forms part of modernism-which shattered traditional forms in art-and he leads forward to certain postmodern ideas. The book examines some of Freud's themes that remain challenging and relevant today-for example, psychoanalysis as a form of narrative-construction, the creative nature of memory, the revolutionary nature of the knowledge gained through psychotherapy, and unconscious, which subverts any notion of stable human identity.
