The Hieroglyph of Tradition: Freud, Benjamin, Gadamer, Novalis, Kant

This book argues that tradition is not dissociable from processes of self-consciousness involving our capacity to situate ourselves in a world that includes a rich legacy of predecessors and precedents. It explores how language, the body, experience, imagination, desire, and affect are not dissociable from tradition as transference in the Freudian sense. This argument draws support from several major thinkers and offers new interpretations of them.Angelika Rauch is the author of 'The Hieroglyph of Tradition: Freud, Benjamin, Gadamer, Novalis, Kant' with ISBN 9780838638460 and ISBN 0838638465.
