Description: Passion in Theory explores the philosophical possibilities of psychoanalysis, focusing on the 'metapsychological' theories of Freud and Lacan. Robyn Ferrell argues that psychoanalysis, and the concept of the unconscious in particular, offer philosophy important theoretical opportunities. It is an argument that students, teachers and professionals in psychoanalysis and philosophy cannot afford to ignore.
