Open Minded: Working Out the Logic of the Soul Paperback - 1999
by Jonathan Lear
In this book, Lear encourages a reevaluation of preconceived ideas of psychology and philosophy--even long-accepted views by such renowned individuals as Plato, Aristotle, Freud, and Wittgenstein.
From the rear cover
Freud is discredited, so we don't have to think about the darker strains of unconscious motivation anymore. We know what moves our political leaders, so we don't have to look too closely at their thinking either. In fact, everywhere we look in contemporary culture, knowingness has taken the place of thought. This book is a spirited assault on that deadening trend, especially as it affects our deepest attempts to understand the human psyche -- in philosophy and psychoanalysis. It explodes the widespread notion that we already know the problems and proper methods in these fields and so no longer need to ask crucial questions about the structure of human subjectivity.
