Eros and Civilization A Philosophical Inquiry Into Freud

Hailed as the 'Guru of the New Left' and a leading figure of 1960s counterculture and liberation movements the philosopher Herbert Marcuse is amongst the most renowned and controversial thinkers of the twentieth century. Eros and Civilization is one of his best-known books and brought him international fame. Taking his cue from Freud's view that repression of the instincts is a defining characteristic of the human mind Marcuse fuses Freud's insight with Marx's theories of alienation and oppression. He argues that rather than our instincts turned in on themselves it is modern capitalism itself that is preventing us from reaching the freedom we can find in a non-repressive society. A sweeping indictment of modern capitalism and consumerism that remains fresh and insightful Eros and Civilization is a classic of activist and radical thinking that continues to fire debate and controversy today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Douglas Kellner. | Eros and Civilization A Philosophical Inquiry Into Freud

Eros Crucified Death Desire and the Divine in Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Religion

Bringing contemporary philosophers theologians and psychoanalysts into dialogue with works of art and literature this work provides a fresh perspective on how humans can make sense of suffering and finitude and how our existence as sexual beings shapes our relations to one another and the divine. It attempts to establish a connection between carnal bodily love and humanity’s relation to the divine. Relying on the works of philosophers such as Manoussakis Kearney and Marion and psychoanalysts such as Freud and Lacan this book provides a possible answer to these fundamental questions and fosters further dialogue between thinkers and scholars of these different fields. The author analyzes why human sexuality implies both perversion and perfection and why it brings together humanity’s baseness and beatitude. Through it the author taps once more into the dark mystery of Eros and Thanatos who to paraphrase Dostoevsky forever struggle with God on the battlefield of the human heart. This book is written primarily for scholars interested in the fields of philosophical psychology existential philosophy and philosophy of religion | Eros Crucified Death Desire and the Divine in Psychoanalysis and Philosophy of Religion

The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

The Muse has long been figured as a divine or erotically alluring consort to the virile male artist who may inspire him or lead him to the edge of madness. This book explores the changing cultural expressions of the relationship between the male artist with a beloved imagined or desired Muse to offer new and penetrating perspectives on musical representations and transformations of creative masculine subjectivity and important aspects of the shift from the styles and aesthetics of Romantic Idealism to Modernist Anxiety in music of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each of the chapters begins with explorations into male artists' relationships with their Muse and moves to analysis and interpretation which uncovers cultural constructions of masculine artistic inspiration and production and their association with creatively inspiring and erotically charged relationships with a Muse. New insights are offered into the musical meaning and cultural significance of selected works by Rossini Beethoven Chopin Liszt Schumann Wagner Sibelius Mahler Bart³k Scriabin Szymanowski Debussy Berg Poulenc and Weill. | The Muse as Eros Music Erotic Fantasy and Male Creativity in the Romantic and Modern Imagination

Love and Politics Persistent Human Desires as a Foundation for Liberation

In Love and Politics Jeffery L. Nicholas argues that Eros is the final rejection of an alienated life in which humans are prevented from developing their human powers; Eros in contrast is an overflowing of acting into new realities and new beauties a world in which human beings extend their powers and senses. Nicholas uniquely interprets Alasdair MacIntyre’s Revolutionary Aristotelianism as a response to alienation defined as the divorce of fact from value. However this account cannot address alienation in the form of the oppression of women or people of color. Importantly it fails to acknowledge the domination of nature that blackens the heart of alienated life. Alienation must be seen as a separation of the human from nature. Nicholas turns to Aristotle first to uncover the way his philosophy embodies a divorce of human from nature then to reconstruct the essential elements of Aristotle’s metaphysics to defend a philosophical anthropology based on Eros. Love and Politics: Persistent Human Desires as a Foundation for Liberation presents a critical theory that synthesizes MacIntyre’s Revolutionary Aristotelianism Frankfurt School Critical Theory and Social Reproduction Theory. It will be of great interest to political theorists and philosophers. | Love and Politics Persistent Human Desires as a Foundation for Liberation

Creativity and the Erotic Dimensions of the Analytic Field

Creativity and the Erotic Dimensions of the Analytic Field centers on the mutually reinforcing relationship between erotic and creative energies. Erotic embodiment is given context within a contemporary model of clinical process based in analytic field theory and highlighting Winnicott. Dianne Elise uses clinical material to bring theory alive giving clinicians an explicit picture of how they might utilize the ideas presented. In a fascinating return to Freud’s emphasis on libido and Eros a creative mind is seen as located within a libidinal connection to the erotic body. The erotic is underscored as an important ingredient of the clinical situation—a lively spontaneity that partakes of the analyst’s as well as the patient’s creative self vitalizing the field of clinical engagement. A full formulation of the analytic field must include awareness of the centrality of the erotic in the maternal matrix in ongoing development and in the clinical setting. The erotic-aesthetic dimension of the mind potentiates the creative interplay of the analytic process. Written in an engaging and accessible style this original contribution makes complex theory available to psychoanalytic clinicians at all levels and to a wide range of readers while offering sophisticated theoretical and clinical innovations. Elise addresses the need to engage multiple aspects of erotic life while maintaining a reliable professional boundary.

Shakespeare's Erotic Mythology and Ovidian Renaissance Culture

Taking cross-disciplinary and comparative approaches to the volume’s subject this exciting collection of essays offers a reassessment of Shakespeare’s erotic and Ovidian mythology within classical and continental aesthetic contexts. Through extensive examination of mythological visual and textual material scholars explore the transmission and reinvention of Ovidian eroticism in Shakespeare’s plays to show how early modern artists and audiences collectively engaged in redefining ways of thinking pleasure. Within the collection’s broad-ranging investigation of erotic mythology in Renaissance culture each chapter analyses specific instances of textual and pictorial transmission reception and adaptation. Through various critical strategies contributors trace Shakespeare’s use of erotic material to map out the politics and aesthetics of pleasure unravelling the ways in which mythology informs artistic creation. Received acceptions of neo-platonic love and the Petrarchan tensions of unattainable love are revisited with a focus on parodic and darker strains of erotic desire such as Priapic and Dionysian energies lustful fantasy and violent eros. The dynamics of interacting tales is explored through their structural ability to adapt to the stage. Myth in Renaissance culture ultimately emerges not merely as near-inexhaustible source material for the Elizabethan and Jacobean arts but as a creative process in and of itself. | Shakespeare's Erotic Mythology and Ovidian Renaissance Culture

The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Throughout this enlightening collection Neil Maizels considers the helical tandem between the Life Instinct and the Death drive in the light of canonical literary figures like Thomas Hardy Patricia Highsmith Sylvia Plath and Shakespeare classic filmmakers like Hitchcock and contemporary television shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm The West Wing and Succession. This light is filtered through intricate clinical work whereby Maizels seeks to illustrate and expound on the strength and indefatigability of the Life Instinct. He makes a case for it as the relentless driver of integration and “binding” in the ever-growing expansive psyche. He considers both Freud’s original equation of the Life Instinct with Eros and a widening interconnecting love of mankind and Melanie Klein’s with gratitude and creative reparation. This book is a multi-layered presentation of the clinical and theoretical work of Neil Maizels as it has evolved and convolved over several decades. It places the feeling through of one’s conflicts at the heart of the mind’s generation of a unique identity equipped to evolve its own unique form of creative spirit in the face of life’s most pressing psychological challenges: the limitation of time and reciprocated beauty. The Life-Death Instinct: Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments is important reading for anyone seeking to expand their knowledge in this fascinating intersection of psychoanalysis and the arts. | The Life-Death Instinct Feeling Through Creative-Clinical Moments

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship Transference and Countertransference Passions

Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship challenges the traditional belief that transference and countertransference are merely forms of resistance that jeopardize the therapeutic process. David Mann shows how the erotic feelings and fantasies experienced by clients and therapists can be used to bring about a positive transformation. Combining extensive and lively clinical examples with theoretical insights and new research on infants David Mann suggests that the development of the erotic derives from interactions between the parent and child and is seldom absent from the therapist-patient relationship. However while the erotic always contains elements of past relationships it also expresses hope for a different outcome in the present and future. Individual chapters explore the function of the erotic within the unconscious: erotic pre-Oedipal and Oedipal material; homoeroticism in therapy; sexual intercourse as a metaphor for psychological change; the primal scene in the transference and the difficulties of working with perversions. The book is as relevant now as it was when originally published. This Classic Edition contains a new introduction by David Mann summarizing his current ideas since this book was first published in 1997. It brings the therapy setting alive offering clinicians both an accessible and deeper understanding of the interaction between erotic transference and countertransference; it also gives an explicit picture of how these aspects of therapy can be used to enhance the therapeutic process. It remains an essential resource for psychoanalysts psychotherapists and counsellors their clients and anybody with an interest in Eros desire or mental health issues. | Psychotherapy: An Erotic Relationship Transference and Countertransference Passions

Selected Satires of Lucian

The unsurpassed satirist of the ancient era was a young Syrian named Lucian who writing in Greek in the second century a. d. combined wit irony fearless candor and exuberant comic fantasy to create the triumphantly irreverent dialogues and stories contained in this book. His genial mockery aimed at man's omnipresent feelings has never gone out of date. The jabs he gave the hypocrites; grandstanders fakers and boobs of the ancient world can just as appropriately be administered to their counterparts in the modern world. Lucian's most typical genre is a parody of a Platonic dialogue in which Zeus Hermes Eros and other Olympians jabber in undivine harassment as some clever mortal (who very much resembles Lucian) is about to make scandalous fools of them. He also excelled at straight narrative his two most famous tales being the elaborate science fiction spoof; A True Story and an old folk tale retold outrageously Lucius the Ass. His works were the product of an unrelentingly rational and skeptical mind and have had an incalculable effect on writers and painters through the ages. Until this volume the English language reader of today to appreciate the importance and intelligence of Lucian. No volume of representative selections in translation is in print. There are satisfactory versions of the complete works but the reader who takes this long will most likely lose a good deal of the sting of Lucian's needle. Lionel Cassen also illustrates the full range of Lucian's subject matter and various literary forms and when translating tried to focus on the Greek spirit as opposed to the literal meaning. | Selected Satires of Lucian
