Winter 2019, PHIL 298A-01: Seminar in Continental Philosophy: Freud and Philosophy (3). Sigmund Freud is one of the great thinkers in the western tradition and perhaps the most influential thinker of the 20th century. While he is best known as the founder of psychoanalysis, his writings on art, religion, and history have had an enormous impact on film and literary criticism, social science, and theology. This course teases out and critically assesses the philosophical import of his theories of the unconscious, sexuality, dreams, and culture. The revisionist work of various neo-Freudians is also considered. (HU). Lambert.
