Between Seduction and Inspiration

Más información sobre el libro

For this volume Jean Laplanche selected his principal writings from 1992 to 1998, a period in which he demonstrated the power and range of his psychoanalytic and philosophical inquiry, including his 'return to Freud' and his General Theory of Seduction. Some of the essays are here published in English translation for the first time. Forty years after his masterful translation of Laplanche's Life and Death in Psychoanalysis, Jeffrey Mehlman once again provides an elegant and insightful translation, which preserves the clarity and rigor of Laplanche's essays.
