A Dialogue Between Evolving Contemporary Psychoanalysis and Paul Ricoeurs Philosophical Anthropology (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Using elements of Ricoeurs thought, psychoanalysts respond as both theoreticians and clinicians to his groundbreaking dialogue.Beginning with Sigmund Freud, the relationship between philosophy and psychoanalysis has fallen short of its mutually enriching potential. This volume builds on Ricoeurs sustained effort to construct an innovative bridge between the two disciplines and contributes to a long-overdue dialogue.Ricoeurs engagement with the Freudian opus was a vehicle for his philosophical anthropology, emphasizing the creativity of imagination and the power of the possible. Over the last sixty years, the challenges of Ricoeurs commentary have changed in conjunction with the contemporary evolution of psychoanalysis. In this volume, the contributors explore the connections between philosophy and psychoanalysis, bringing the two into fruitful conversation. This volume features contributions by a diverse group of practicing psychoanalysts, who take elements of the thought of Paul Ricoeur to shed light on the connections between philosophy and psychoanalysis.
