Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationSigmund Freud (1856-1939) was the Austrian founder of psychoanalysis, a method for psychological therapy and a theory of human nature. His conception of the unconscious, of the relevance of dreams, and of the role played by our drives for pleasure and aggression as well as his trenchant critique of culture shape our self-understanding to this day. Ulrich Baer is University Professor at New York University and has translated works by Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Maria Rilke, and other authors. Richard Rorty (1931-2007) was an eminent American philosopher known for many seminal books, including Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity, Achieving Our Country, and Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature.
