Countering prevailing theories on the nature of persons, Wollheim submits an account of the mind dynamically conceived and proposes that we take as fundamental the process of living as a person. To illuminate this process, the author draws on psychoanalysis and literature, in particular the case studies of Freud and the writings of Proust. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Wollheim's is a very original and extremely interesting approach to the philosophy of the mind, bringing together three areas of reflection not often combined: the philosophy of mind, psychoanalysis, and ethics.\"--Bernard Williams, University of California, Berkeley \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"There are only a few people who can write intelligently and insightfully about psychoanalysis and philosophy.
