The Freudian Exodus: Psychoanalysis and the Mosaic Legacy - Andrew Barnaby - Bog

The Freudian Exodus: Psychoanalysis and the Mosaic Legacyaf Andrew Barnaby
Bag om The Freudian Exodus: Psychoanalysis and the Mosaic Legacy

The Freudian Exodus redefines the traumatic experience that Freud argued was the origin of Judaic monotheism, the murder of Moses. Focusing instead on the Babylonian Exile, the study explores a series of topics understood as the aftershocks of that cultural trauma. Among these are the nature of anti-Semitism, Christianity's vexed relationship to Judaism, the fantasmatic status of subjectivity, the cultural function of Torah, and Freud's escape at the end of his life from Nazi controlled Austria. The in-depth analysis of these topics aims for a new understanding of psychoanalysis, conceived more as a philosophy than as a mode of therapy.
