Lure of Dreams Sigmund Freud and the Construction of Modernity

From literary theory to social anthropology, the influence of Freud runs through every part of the human and social sciences.

This novel and stimulating approach to Freud and to the dilemmas of modernity and postmodernity will fascinate everyone with an interest in the development of the modern consciousness.Ferguson, Harvie is the author of 'Lure of Dreams Sigmund Freud and the Construction of Modernity' with ISBN 9780415048361 and ISBN 0415048362.
