The Freud Reader

THE FREUD READER edited by PETER GAY pdf

Sigmund Freud — along with Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein—is among that small handful of supreme makers of the twentieth-century mind whose works should be our prized possession.

Yet, voluminous, diverse, and at times technical, Freud’s writings have not been as widely read as they deserve to be; most of those who may claim direct acquaintance with them have limited their acquaintance to his late essay Civilization and Its Discontents. Others have contented themselves with compendia, popularizations, even comic books attempting to make Freud and his ideas palatable, even easy.

That is a pity, for he was a great stylist and equally great scientist. Hence it can be pleasurable, and it is certainly essential, to know Freud, not merely to know about him. The Freud Reader is designed to repair such unmerited and unfortunate neglect.

It is the first truly comprehensive survey of Freud’s writings, using not some dated and discredited translations but the authoritative versions in the twenty-four-volume Standard Edition of Freud’s Psychological Writings.

It is the Standard Edition, the Bible for psychoanalysts in the English-speaking world, to which students of Freud, whether psychiatrists or social workers, philosophers or aesthe-ticians, literary critics or cultural anthropologists, historians or political scientists, inescapably turn.

Its notes have proved so copious and so dependable that a recent twelve-volume German edition of Freud, the Studienausgabe, has simply copied them; in this Freud Reader, I have supplemented them only wherever it seemed necessary to offer an even fuller explanation.
