description: In this original book, Donald Levy examines the most important philosophical arguments against Freud`s idea of the unconscious as articulated by Ludwig Wittgenstein, William James, Alasdair MacIntyre, and Adolf Gr_nbaum. He then argues that these criticisms all depend upon misunderstandings or lack of awareness of psychoanalytic ideas. Levy untangles the main confusions that have surrounded psychoanalysis since its inception and provides a clearer view of what it is and what may be gained from it.
