Adorno; 7 Das Ding: Jacques Lacan's Luther; Bibliography; Index.

Summary: According to Freuds later works, we do not really feel well or free within civilization. Our discontent never disappears, and we shall never become completely reliable members of society. Alcohol already suffices, Freud tells us, to ruin the fragile architecture of sublimations. Since Beyond the Pleasure Principle, sublimation seems to be nothing more than a euphemism for suppressing the drives. We sublimate because we did not get or were not allowed to have what we actually wanted. Is sublimation a mere surrogate or perhaps even the name psychoanalysis found for theoria in the twentieth centu.
