Through such works as \u003ci\u003eFreud: The Mind of the Moralist\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Triumph of the Therapeutic, \u003c\/i\u003e he proved himself an incisive interpreter of Freud and his legacy. His work now culminates with the long-awaited trilogy \u003ci\u003eSacred Order\/Social Order, \u003c\/i\u003e a three-volume work on social theory and contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Arnold Eisen chose the selections for the final volume of the trilogy in consultation with Philip Rieff. All of the selections bear on the nature of the \"Jew of culture.\" Rieff explicitly and consistently identified with this ideal-type, named for the first time in \u003ci\u003eFellow Teachers, \u003c\/i\u003e and crucial in one form or another to everything he wrote. For the rest of Rieff's long career, \"Jew of culture\" would serve as foil, countertype, corrective, and adversary to the \"therapeutics\" who represented both Rieff's analysands and his antagonists. The purpose of this collection of Rieff's writings, undertaken at his suggestion, is to trace the evolution of the \"Jew of culture\" over the course of his work. In doing so we gain particular insight into his distinctive theory of society and the self; we also come to better understand the theorist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Rieff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813927064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813927060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 5.84w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2008 pg. 160","brand":"Philip Rieff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926414983423,"sku":"9780813927060","price":79.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6665aa50-2a0c-484a-8919-0567c00558fe.jpg?v=1681082957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sacred-ordersocial-order-philip-rieff-9780813927060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
