Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Beacon Paperback 1974, 7th printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Very Good condition. "Philosophical critiques of psychoanalysis have been rare. Almost all of those that have appeared hitherto have been either undisguised attacks or, equally evidently, defenses. This one takes psychoanalysis seriously but not as unchallengeable dogma. EROS AND CIVILIZATION is a stirring book and a cheering (though in no sense naive) book. Except for Ernest Jones' two notable books on Freud and his life, this strikes the reviewer as the most significant general treatment of psychoanalytic theory since Freud himself ceased publication."--Clyde Kluckhohn, The New York Times. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no age toning on pages. Seller Inventory # RUB2039
