Review "Freud, more than any other explorer of the psyche, shaped the mind of the 20th century" -- Peter Gay, Time magazine"The founder of psychoanalysis gave the world more than a theory and a therapy. He provided a world view. His ideas about dreams, religion, creativity, and the unconscious motivations underlying all human behavior are so pervasive that it would be difficult to imagine twentieth-century thought without them." -- Newsweek"Freud is a deep explorer of the human condition, working in a tradition which goes back to Sophocles and which extends through Plato, Saint Augustine and Shakespeare to Proust and Nietzsche. . . .no thinker has made creativity and imagination more democratically available than Freud. This is one of the truly important consequences of locating the unconscious inside the psyche. Creativity is no longer the exclusive preserve of the divinely inspired, or the few great poets. From a psychoanalytic point of view, everyone is poetic; everyone dreams in metaphor and generates symbolic meaning in the process of living." -- New Republic Review Quote "Freud, more than any other explorer of the psyche, shaped the mind of the 20th century" -- Peter Gay, Time magazine "The founder of psychoanalysis gave the world more than a theory and a therapy.

For it is current fashion to insist on his single-minded concentration on establishing a psychological system anchored in scrupulous clinical observation. His lifelong absorption in exploring the roots of culture is, on the other hand, treated condescendingly as the pardonable hobby of a pure scientist, even though Freud repeatedly declared that his scientific activity was in a sense a detour from his original interests. . . . Each of these essays is a little gem in its own right. And each needs to be read again and again as representing the best which psychoanalysis has yet had to offer in the interpretation of culture."-from the Introduction by Benjamin Nelson Details ISBN0061718696 Author Sigmund Freud Short Title ON CREATIVITY & THE UNCONSCIOU Language English ISBN-10 0061718696 ISBN-13 9780061718694 Media Book Format Paperback Residence US Birth 1856 Death 1939 Series Harper Perennial Modern Thought Subtitle The Psychology of Art, Literature, Love, and Religion DOI 10.1604/9780061718694 Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2009-03-03 NZ Release Date 2009-03-03 UK Release Date 2009-03-03 Illustrations Illustrations, black and white Pages 336 Publisher HarperCollins Publishers Inc Imprint HarperCollins Publishers DEWEY 150.1952 Audience General Imprint US Harper Perennial Modern Classics Publisher US HarperCollins Year 2009 Publication Date 2009-03-03 US Release Date 2009-03-03 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
