The Foundation of the Unconscious: Schelling, Freud and the Birth of the Modern

Description: The Foundation of the Unconscious by Matt Ffytche Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This study of the emergence of a psychology of the unconscious in the Romantic period provides a fascinating account of the rise and role of the unconscious in modernity. It draws together interdisciplinary research that will appeal to readers from psychology, psychoanalysis, philosophy, Romanticism and intellectual history. Publisher Description The unconscious, cornerstone of psychoanalysis, was a key twentieth-century concept and retains an enormous influence on psychological and cultural theory. Yet there is a surprising lack of investigation into its roots in the critical philosophy and Romantic psychology of the early nineteenth century, long before Freud. Why did the unconscious emerge as such a powerful idea? And why at that point? This interdisciplinary study traces the emergence of the unconscious through the work of philosopher Friedrich Schelling, examining his association with Romantic psychologists, anthropologists and theorists of nature. It sets out the beginnings of a neglected tradition of the unconscious psyche and proposes a compelling new argument: that the unconscious develops from the modern need to theorise individual independence. The book assesses the impact of this tradition on psychoanalysis itself, re-reading Freuds The Interpretation of Dreams in the light of broader post-Enlightenment attempts to theorise individuality. Author Biography Dr Matt Ffytche has lectured in the Department of English and the Department of History at Queen Mary, University of London, and is now a Lecturer in Psychoanalytic Studies at the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies, University of Essex.
