Rather, it is concerned with why this interpretation plays such an important role in demonstrating the contemporary relevance of psychoanalytic concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One of today's foremost French philosophers offers here a fascinating and illuminating take on the relevance of Freudian concepts and psychoanalytic interpretations, as emerging from the yet to be discovered meaning of the 19th century aesthetic revolution. In a philosophical dialogue with Lyotard, Ranciere contends that the Freudian inheritance that valorizes pathos over logos, goes against the grain of Freud's own effort to maintain their equal coexistence and inseparability: to preserve at once the pathos of the sickness and the logos of the cure. This erudite and brilliant book is a must-read for students of art, philosophy and psychoanalysis alike.' \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eShoshana Felman, Author of \u003ci\u003eTestimony (Crises of Witnessing),\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Juridical Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\"Ranciere offers a fascinating new optic through which to read psychoanalysis, and his original positioning of Freud in relation to art and literature is valuable in a field where partisan defences and blanket dismissals tend to hold sway.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Philosophers' Magazine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Defective Subject\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Aesthetic Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Two Forms of Mute Speech\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom One Unconscious to Another\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFreud’s Corrections\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn Various Uses of Details\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA Conflict between Two Kinds of Medicine\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767977050455,"sku":"9780745646442","price":18.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745646442.jpg?v=1758715761","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/aesthetic-unconscious-9780745646442","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
