Description

Book Synopsis
Cavell elaborates the view, traceable from Wittgenstein to Davidson, that there is no thought, and thus no meaning, without language, and shows how this concurs with psychoanalytic theory and practice.

Trade Review
Any psychologist interested in a deeper understanding of what it means to think in terms of unconscious processes will want to read Cavell's book. -- Alan Bass * Contemporary Psychology *
An outstanding introduction to modern perspectives of psychoanalysis and philosophy and the synthesis of meaning and mind that they share. * Antioch Review *
