The mind as it is manifested in philosophy and art, in the moral life and psychoanalysis, has always been at the core of Richard Wollheim's celebrated work. This book brings together Wollheim's broad and abiding concerns to illuminate human thought at its furthest reaches of introspection and expression. Interweaving philosophy, psychoanalysis, and aesthetics, these essays reveal the critical connections between ideas and disciplines too often regarded as separate and distinct.

About the Author
Richard Wollheim was Mills Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, and Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at the University of California, Davis.

Reviews
Wonderful essays... We encounter not just a system of highly original thought, but a highly original mind and a highly original man. -- Arthur C. Danto * London Review of Books *
I urge anyone who is interested in furthering his or her understanding of the arts and philosophy to read and ponder what Wollheim has to say... A stimulating collection of essays. -- Anthony Storr * Spectator *
There must be many casual readers of Freud who have been enriched, over the years, by Wollheim's writings... This lively collection brings together all of his best preoccupations-pictures and pictorial form; the philosophical implications of psychoanalysis and ethics. -- Neil Paraday * Guardian *
