Beskrivning
This book consists of a focused and systematic analysis of Freud’s implicit argument for unconscious mental states. The author employs the unique approach of applying contemporary philosophical methods, especially Kripke-Putnam essentialism, in analyzing Freud’s argument. The book elaborates how Freud transformed the intentionality theory of his Cartesian teacher Franz Brentano into what is essentially a sophisticated modern view of the mind. Indeed, Freud redirected Brentano's analysis of consciousness as intentionality into a view of consciousness-independent intentionalism about the mental that in effect set the agenda for latter-twentieth-century philosophy of mind.

Recensioner i media

“Jerome Wakefield’s meticulous and brilliant work, powered by his scholarly knowledge in the areas of philosophy and psychoanalysis, is displayed in this book and is welcomed in this context. … Wakefield’s work stands as an example of the kind of bridging that is necessary between these two fields.” (Cuneyt Iscan, Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association, Vol. 70 (1), 2022)
