Description - Freud by Paul Roazen
Sigmund Freud had broad ambitions about what psychoanalysis could add to human thought. But Freud's own writings have rarely been assessed within the perspective of political philosophy. Political theorists will find in the school Freud established a rich storehouse of ideas. For us to link up with what Freud was saying means to join in the great conversation about what the ends of the just society should be, as well as what a fully developed person might be like. In his new introduction to this text, the author contends that today, from the point of view of intellectual history, Freud looms as a subject in an even larger way than he did back in the 1960s. His thinking has impinged, for good or ill, on how we think about character and the nature of human impulses. Privacy itself has been affected, so much so that political candidates now feel free to use intimate material from private life for manipulative public purposes. Yet after all this time, political scientists remain reluctant to entertain the need to explore the psychological dimension of all political events.
