Description
A psychoanalytic and political assessment of the contemporary 21st century West.
Re-examines Freud’s early psychoanalytic ideas on the nature of obsessions, interpreted from the murder of the primal father in Totem and Taboo, and returns to his grounding ideals and a comprehensive defense of the coming-to-be-human in modernity.
Argues that the West has regressed to an infantile and primitive present, driven by an unconscious hostility towards the Oedipus complex and, more comprehensively, the obsessional neuroses.
