Freud and the Limits of Bourgeois Individualism

By León Rozitchner

Book Overview

Offering an in-depth interpretation of Sigmund Freud's 'collective' or 'social' works, Le n 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 l mites del individualismo burgu s by Siglo XXI Editores, 1972.
