{"product_id":"force-drive-desire-rudolf-bernet-9780810139985","title":"Force, Drive, Desire: A Philosophy of Psychoanalysis","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Force, Drive, Desire\u003c\/i\u003e, Rudolf Bernet develops a philosophical foundation of psychoanalysis focusing on human drives. Rather than simply drawing up a list of Freud's borrowings from Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, or Lacan's from Hegel and Sartre, Bernet orchestrates a dialogue between philosophy and psychoanalysis that goes far beyond what these eminent psychoanalysts knew about philosophy. By relating the writings of Freud, Lacan, and other psychoanalysts to those of Aristotle, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, and, more tacitly, Bergson and Deleuze, Bernet brings to light how psychoanalysis both prolongs and breaks with the history of Western metaphysics and philosophy of nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRereading the long history of metaphysics (or at least a few of its key moments) in light of psychoanalytic inquiries into the nature and function of drive and desire also allows for a rewriting of the history of philosophy. Specifically, it allows Bernet to bring to light a different history of metaphysics, one centered less on Aristotelian substance (\u003ci\u003eousia\u003c\/i\u003e) and more on the concept of \u003ci\u003edunamis\u003c\/i\u003e--a power or potentiality for a realization toward which it strives with all its might. Relating human drives to metaphysical forces also bears fruit for a renewed philosophy of life and subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf Bernet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810139987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810139985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2020","brand":"Rudolf Bernet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47244014387455,"sku":"9780810139985","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c94d6c6-4879-4e40-8de5-3fd9bc0e8f43.jpg?v=1758134721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/force-drive-desire-rudolf-bernet-9780810139985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
