| Description: | One of the most important analyses of Freud's social work, available for the first time in English. Offering an in-depth interpretation of Sigmund Freud''s ''collective'' or ''social'' works, León Rozitchner insists that the Left should consider the ways in which capitalism inscribes its power in the subject as the site for the verification of history. Thus, after a brief commentary on Freud''s New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, the present book provides the reader with a chapter-by-chapter analysis of Civilisation and Its Discontents and Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego. Freud''s views, according to Rozitchner''s original reading, offer a striking contribution to a materialist theory and history of subjectivity. This book was first published in Spanish as Freud y los límites del individualismo burgués by Siglo XXI Editores, 1972. |
