Table of Contents ; Acknowledgments; Introduction: In Defense of Drive Theory; Part One: Dream ; 1. Death, Mastery, and the Origins of Life: Sigmund Freud's Strange Proposal ; Part Two: Interpretation ; 2. Between Need and Dread: Hans Loewald and the Primordial Density ; 3. Aggressivity in Psychoanalysis (Reprised): Jacques Lacan and the Genesis of Omnipotence ; 4. The Psyche in Late Capitalism I: Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and the Crisis of Internalization ; 5. The Psyche in Late Capitalism II: Herbert Marcuse and the Technological Lure ; Conclusion ; Notes ; Bibliography; Index.
Summary: The first philosophers of the Frankfurt School famously turned to the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud to supplement their Marxist analyses of ideological subjectification. Since the collapse of their proposed "marriage of Marx and Freud," psychology and social theory have grown increasingly apart to the impoverishment of both. Returning to this unholy union, Benjamin Y. Fong reconstructs the psychoanalytic "foundation stone" of critical theory in the effort to once again think together the possibility of psychic and social transformation. Drawing on the work of Hans Loewald and Jacque.
