It is exhaustive scholarship of the first order, and clearly written on a subject about which it is very difficult to be clear. I have no doubt it will be of enormous use to a great many people.--Marcia Cavell "Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research"<br><br>[T]he chief value of [<i>Requiem for the Ego</i>] . . . is to create a basis for now reconsidering Freud's intellectual accomplishments, as well as the enduring elements of the Enlightenment that may yet prove useful in an era of postmodernism. This book reanimates part of this hidden conversation, without either predictions or prescriptions. Summing up: Recommended.--D.W. Sullivan<br><br>This is an important book in the philosophy of science, but it is also an important critique of the history of 20th century philosophy and its relationship to psychology. The blurred lines are here clarified and the denial on the part of philosophy that it was and is in a dialogue with psychology is laid to rest for once and for all.--Sander Gilman<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alfred I. Tauber is Zoltan Kohn Professor of Medicine, emeritus, and Professor of Philosophy, emeritus, at Boston University. He is the author of several books, most recently <i>Freud, the Reluctant Philosopher</i> (2010).
