SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study puts Sigmund Freud in dialogue with his contemporary Franz Rosenzweig in the service of reimagining ethical and political life. By exploring the theological dimensions of Freud's writings and revealing unexpected psychoanalytic implications in the religious philosophy of Rosenzweig's masterwork 'The Star of Redemption', the book makes an original argument for understanding religions of revelation in therapeutic terms, and offers a look at how this understanding suggests fruitful ways of reconceiving political community.
