Critical Existential Psycho-Analysis (Kevin Boileau, EPIS 2014)

Critical Existential Psycho-Analysis, by Kevin Boileau, EPIS Press, 2014

This volume is the second in a multi-volume series that explores and synthesizes the disparate discourses of existential phenomenology, psychoanalytic structuralism, and Critical Theory. This volume 2 examines existential phenomenology as an important critical foundation to existential psychoanalysis (both individual and cultural) by addressing the work of Dondeyne, Marcel, Merleau-Ponty, and Sartre. Through this examination, we can see how existential phenomenology can be used as a corrective to the distortions and sedimentations of the positivist forces in our scientific, social-political, aesthetic, intellectual, and spiritual discourses.(amazon)
