In this brief but comprehensive introduction to Freud's theories, Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen provides a step-by-step overview of his ideas regarding the unconscious, the cure, sexuality, drives, and culture, highlighting their indebtedness to contemporary neurophysiological and biological assumptions. The picture of Freud that emerges is very different from that of the fact-finding scientist he claimed to be. Bold conceptual innovations - repressio...

Ma fu vera gloria? Se lo chiedono Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen e Sonu Shamdasani in un saggio fremente come una requisitoria e dettagliat...
