More about the book

The exploration of wish-fulfilment as a means of addressing deep-seated desires is a central theme in classical psychoanalysis, particularly through Freud's insights linking it to various psychological phenomena, including dreams and neurotic symptoms. Despite its historical significance, this concept has seen limited attention in later psychoanalytic discourse. However, contemporary philosophers have revived its relevance, using it to explain irrational behaviors that challenge fields like psychiatry, social psychology, and the philosophy of mind.
