His long-gestated book on Freud moves and delights me. Sigmund Freud’s hope that psychoanalysis would make a contribution to biology was mistaken. Instead, Freud became the Montaigne of his age, a great moral essayist who attained the literary eminence of Proust, Joyce, Kafka, Beckett. The science of love, for secularists, finds its authentic sages in Plato, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolstoi, and Proust. Freud, at his subtlest, is a sixth in that visionary company. The vulgar misunderstanding of Freud, still too prevalent, regards him as a mere sexologist. Miyawaki’s enterprise is to correct this undisciplined view, so as to restore our sense of the Freudian Speculation. Ludwig Wittgenstein thought he deprecated Freud’s theory of mind by calling it a speculation, not a philosophic venture, but to me that mode of wonder is the great strength of psychoanalysis. Edison Miyawaki would agree. Like Wittgenstein, he too shows that love is not a feeling. Love, un- like pain, is put to the test. We do not say: “that was not a true pain, because it passed away so quickly.” Like Freud, Miyawaki is both a neurologist and a literary humanist. If we are to continue our creative apprehension of Freud, we require an under- standing that literature is a way of life. Freud, as literature, is a guide to love as the summit of life. Edison Miyawaki joins himself to that quest in this heartening and lucid study of much that still matters most in Freud. — Harold Bloom ix Introduction mong psychological writers in the last two centuries, Sigmund Freud’s Afundamental originality, as this book argues, had to do with the stories and art he chose to describe our greatest emotion. He used a great deal of clinical material in his writing, as one would expect from a doctor in practice, but he referred often and strategically to works of the imagination, because they were repositories of knowledge as useful as anything he learned from his patients. He once wrote, in a stark irony, that “only rarely” is a psycho- analyst compelled to study art. Yet throughout his career, Freud stole from stories and art like a proud thief, always in the name of science. Today, courses in psychology and psychiatry address brain science; pro- fessionals obsess over their “basis in evidence.” Why should a modern psy- chologist venture away from the lab or clinic, into non-science? The simple answer is that there is data to be found there, especially if one reconsiders Freud’s all-but-forgotten claim that every day, speaking psychologically, we rehearse stories and themes articulated long ago in works that are canonical in the Western tradition. Consider “love,” scientifically. If we aren’t precise about what it is, then a “science of love” will be difficult to conduct. Love is complex (it is not a complex), yet we all claim to know what it is, intuitively and intimately. So why can’t we understand it with thoroughgoing empiricism? If we examine Freud’s career with more charity than some have exhibited in recent years, we might understand at least one very important—and possibly unavoid- able—impediment to knowledge. Sometimes, in studying a phenomenon, we do violence to the very thing that we study, maybe because theory (like Freudian theory) gets in the way. What follows is not a book about the psy- choanalysis of anything. It is a new look at a lesson buried in the depths and sources of Freud’s writings. We will learn about an issue that is acute today: at what point do we approach a limit in articulating what the subject of our scientific study is? Regarding human love, a line of crossing lies somewhere 2 What to Read on Love, Not Sex between calling it a biological drive to perpetuate the species by sexual en- counter on the one hand, and, on the other, some greater, vaguer, and more beautiful complexity involving many affects—call it “love,” which is the best word we have for love. I’ll build a case that a real science of the emotions (ac- tually, any human emotion), is a problem of finding an adequately intricate language to describe the subject in question. It is a writerly conundrum and an artistic one as well, and it’s a problem at the core of modern psychology and psychiatry. Freud had some ideas about whom we might consult on the subject of “adequate” language, and his suggestions aren’t bad—in fact, he offers an extraordinary reading list. I think a new discussion of his sources is worth a short book, intended mainly but not exclusively for psychiatrists and psy- chologists.

  • Marginalia and Commentaries in the Papyri of Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes
    Nikolaos Athanassiou Marginalia and Commentaries in the Papyri of Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes PhD thesis / Dept. of Greek and Latin University College London London 1999 C Name of candidate: Nikolaos Athanassiou Title of Thesis: Marginalia and commentaries in the papyri of Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes. The purpose of the thesis is to examine a selection of papyri from the large corpus of Euripides, Sophocles and Aristophanes. The study of the texts has been divided into three major chapters where each one of the selected papyri is first reproduced and then discussed. The transcription follows the original publication whereas any possible textual improvement is included in the commentary. The commentary also contains a general description of the papyrus (date, layout and content) as well reference to special characteristics. The structure of the commentary is not identical for marginalia and hy-pomnemata: the former are examined in relation to their position round the main text and are treated both as individual notes and as a group conveying the annotator's aims. The latter are examined lemma by lemma with more emphasis upon their origins and later appearances in scholia and lexica. After the study of the papyri follows an essay which summarizes the results and tries to incorporate them into the wider context of the history of the text of each author and the scholarly attention that this received by the Alexandrian scholars or later grammarians. The main effort is to place each papyrus into one of the various stages that scholarly exegesis passed especially in late antiquity. Special treatment has been given to P.Wurzburg 1, the importance of which made it necessary that it occupies a chapter by itself.

  • What Is Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism?1
    2013 Spring issue FINAL.pdf_2011 Fall edition 4/17/13 12:18 PM Page 8 8 fort da (2013), 19 (1), 8-28 WHAT IS PSYCHOANALYTIC LITERARY CRITICISM?1 by Benjamin H. Ogden, Ph.D., and Thomas H. Ogden, M.D. The history of psychoanalytic literary criticism is as old as psychoanaly- sis, but it has undergone considerable change since Freud’s famous readings of Hamlet (1900), the novels of Dostoevsky (1928), and the story of Moses (1939). The methodology of psychoanalytic literary criticism introduced by Freud and adopted by most psychoanalysts and non-analysts through the greater part of the 20th century is founded on the idea that writers create sto- ries and characters that reflect their own unconscious psychology. A text is a mirror of the unconscious mind of the writer, much as dreams are creations of the unconscious mind that are disguised in order to escape repression (“censorship”), thus gaining access to preconscious and conscious aware- ness (our remembered dreams). Through readings of this sort, psychoana- lytic literary criticism brought established analytic formulations to bear on the text, for instance, constellations of feeling understandable in terms of the Oedipus complex, castration anxiety, the incest taboo, oral, anal, and phal- lic stages of psychosexual development, and the like. The best known, and most widely studied, early examples of this type of formulaic Freudian reading are Ernest Jones’s (1949) reading of Hamlet (in which he concludes that Hamlet is unable to fulfill his duty to kill his uncle because that murder is too closely linked in his repressed unconscious to his forbidden oedipal wishes to murder his father and marry his mother); and Marie Bonaparte’s (1933) study of Edgar Allen Poe, which owed much to Freud’s (1908) “Creative Writers and Day-dreaming.” As psychoanalytic theories of early childhood development grew more nuanced, so did the range of concepts that psychoanalysts used to decode lit- erary texts.

  • The Failure of Brown's New Supervenience Argument
    DISCUSSION NOTE THE FAILURE OF BROWN’S NEW SUPERVENIENCE ARGUMENT BY ERIK J. WIELENBERG JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY DISCUSSION NOTE | OCTOBER 2011 URL: WWW.JESP.ORG COPYRIGHT © ERIK J. WIELENBERG 2011 JOURNAL OF ETHICS & SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY | DISCUSSION NOTE THE FAILURE OF BROWN’S NEW SUPERVENIENCE ARGUMENT Erik J. Wielenberg The Failure of Brown’s New Supervenience Argument Erik J. Wielenberg N 1998, FRANK JACKSON ADVANCED an influential argument against the existence of irreducible ethical properties.1 Campbell Brown has recently offered what he describes as a new and improved version of I 2 this argument. Meanwhile, a meta-ethical view sometimes called “robust normative realism” has attracted a number of contemporary defenders. Da- vid Enoch characterizes this view as follows: “[T]here are response- independent, non-natural, irreducibly normative truths...objective ones, that when successful in our normative inquiries we discover rather than create or construct.”3 Robust normative realists maintain that at least some normative properties are not fully reducible to properties of some other kind. Thus, if Brown’s argument is sound, then robust normative realism is false. I argue here that Brown’s argument fails. 2. Brown’s Argument After describing four worries about Jackson’s original argument, Brown pre- sents his version:4 (1) Ethical properties supervene on descriptive properties. (2) If ethical properties supervene on descriptive properties, then all non- descriptive ethical properties are redundant, in the sense that they do no work in dis- tinguishing possibilities. (3) No properties are redundant. (4) All ethical properties are descriptive properties.5 1 Frank Jackson, From Metaphysics to Ethics: A Defence of Conceptual Analysis (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), pp.

  • DOSTOEVSKY and PSYCHOANALYSIS by Magda
    DOSTOEVSKY AND PSYCHOANALYSIS by Magda Campbell, M.D.* New York University Dostoevsky's most complex personality, life full of events and the numerous heroes in his novels, each of whom alone is a psychological study in depth, per se, always fascinated psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, and psychologists. Ever since Freud's study on Dostoevsky which appeared in 1928, analytic papers have been written about this great writer himself, his work, his characters and even of the dreams described in his novels. I will limit my topic mainly to Freud's paper, for two reasons. First, it was one of the earliest and remains one of the most important. Second, it is most interesting how one intellectual giant wrote about another one. When Freud thinks as a psychologist, he gives a brilliant picture of Dostoevsky's personality and ex- plains some of the relationships existing between his life and the figures in his novels. When he writes as a moralist about Dostoevsky, he fails entirely. He fails, because of his lack of understanding of the struggling, suffering man, the Christian, the great Russian, who in his anguish was striving for ideals and searching for the meaning of life for himself, for Russia, for mankind. Dostoevsky was born 150 years ago; psychoanalysis began with. Freud some 70 years later. Psychoanalysis started as a method of investigating mental processes. Psychoanalytic theory, which arose from psychoanalysis, is concerned with both normal and abnormal mental development and functioning in man. Today, it has become part of human psycho- logy. Psychoanalysis has been called depth-psychology, because of its concern with the unconscious mental processes, which significantly influence and even determine man's thoughts, actions, and behavior in general.
