Description: Offers new insights into our concepts of masculinity and femininity, placing them in relation to Freud's theory of the Life and Death drives. The author also engages feminist critiques of Freud, putting forward new and specific responses to questions that have shaped contemporary understanding of feminism and psychoanalysis. Boothby's Freud, far from being pasš, is in possession of insights that enrich our understanding of modernity and its distinctive character.
