Subjectivity and Intersubjectivity in Modern Philosophy and Psychoanalysis

In this wide-ranging study of subjectivity and intersubjectivity, Roger Frie develops a critical account of recent conceptions of the subject in philosophy and pdychoanalytic theory. Using a line of analysis strongly grounded in the European tradition, Frie examines the complex relationship between the theories of subjectivity, intersubjectivity, language and love in the work of a diverse body of philosophers and psychoanalyists. He provides lucid interpretations of the work of Sartre, Binswanger, Lacan, Habermas, Heidegger, Freud and others. Because it integrates perspectives from continental philosophy, analytical philosophy, and psychoanalytic theory, this book will appeal to a wide audience in the areas of philosophy, history of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and social theory.

Roger Frie is Associate Professor of Education, Simon Fraser University, Affiliate Associate Professor of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, and Supervisor and Faculty member in the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalis and Psychology.
