Psychoanalytic Considerations on the Intellectual’s Responsibility in Light of Traumatic Repetition
From: Spectres of Fascism
$2.20
In this chapter the author employs logical principles extrapolated from psychoanalytic clinical practice to account for the ways in which the unconscious participates in the political realm. The author has the goal of signalling ways in which the left is marked by the compulsion to repeat past mistakes in light of the current spectre of fascism.
