Description: Throughout history philosophers have relentlessly pursued what may be called "inaccessible domains." This book explores how the traditions of existential phenomenology relate to Freudian psychoanalysis. A clear, succinct, and systematic account of the philosophical presuppositions of psychoanalytic theory and practice, this work offers a deeper and richer understanding and appreciation of Freudian thought, as well as its antecedents and influences.
Review Quotes: "This book is a wonderful journey through the probable historical influences on many of Freud's most basic assumptions; and a moving as well as illuminating conversation between many existential phenomenologists and Freud."
