Axioms of Mind and Lived Experience: On Character and the Assumed - Christopher Bollas
¥234.00
Christopher Bollas presents an elusive and puzzling form of unconscious life that has hitherto eluded psychoanalytic theory. “The assumed” identifies select unconscious processes that are a crucial part of our way of being and relating. This creative concept derives from Bollas’ conceptualizations of unconscious life through many decades of work.
Discover the Granta podcast episode with Christopher Bollas, who reflects on the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature, the significance of daydreams, whether analysis can speak to the great crises of our time, and (betraying his California upbringing) its unexpected affinities
