In this distinguished book, first published in 1984, Richard Wollheim offers an original approach to the philosophical understanding of a person. Countering prevailing theories on the nature of persons, Wollheim submits an account of the mind dynamically conceived and proposes that we take as fundamental the process of living as a person. To illuminate this process, the author draws on psychoanalysis and literature, in particular the case studies of Freud and the writings of Proust. Wollheims is a very original and extremely interesting approach to the philosophy of the mind, bringing together three areas of reflection not often combined the philosophy of mind, psychoanalyis, and ethics. Bernard Williams, University of California, Berkeley There are only a few people who can write intelligently and insightfully about psychoanalysis and philosophy. Richard Wollheim is preeminent. Jonathan Lear, University of Chicago Richard Wollheim was professorinresidence and chair of the department of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.
