In spite of the controversy caused by Freuds work, relatively little has been written by analytic philosophers on the deeper philosophical implications of Freudian and post-Freudian theory. Moving away from the debate over the scientific status of Freudian theory, this book discusses the implications of Freud for philosophy in four sections: philosophy of mind; ethics; sexuality; and civilization. Contributors explore the tensions and dialogue between psychoanalysis and philosophical theories on emotion, will, self-deception, sexuality, love, humour, morality and social interaction, demonstrating how productive and mutually enhancing the relationship between philosophy and Freudian theory can be.
