More about the book
The book explores the intersection of Freudian psychoanalysis and religion through a hermeneutical lens, influenced by Paul Ricoeur's philosophy. It critically examines Freud's views on Christianity while questioning if psychoanalysis can be seen as a form of hermeneutics. The author delves into the contentious debates between Ricoeur and Jacques Lacan, alongside Slavoj Zizek's perspectives, highlighting Lacan and Zizek's opposition to interpreting psychoanalysis in hermeneutical terms. This study offers a deep philosophical inquiry into these complex ideas.
