Subterranean Politics And Freuds Legacy Critical Theory And Society

the long version

"This book reclaims psychoanalysis as an ally to critical theory's efforts to restore subjectivity and oppose systemic domination in modernity. The author achieves this aim by reimagining of Freud as a militant optimist, compassionate practitioner and innovator whose work still supports democratic processes contests the dominant scholarly accounts of his work. The most important contribution of this book, however, is the restoration of the radical psychoanalytic foundations of critical theory. A return to its psychoanalytic foundations will restore the compassion of critical theory and grant crucial access to the psychological foundations of domination. Through psychoanalysis, theory can return to the vitally important task of restoring subjectivity against domination and for the emancipation of society"--
