Can Luther's writings inform us on the fundamental questions of
Freudian psychoanalysis? Does an intellectual filiation between
early Reformation thought and psychoanalysis exist? Does Lacanian
psychoanalysis offer an instrument for analysing theological
writings? In The Heart of Man's Destiny, Herman Westerink offers a
new reading of Lacan's seventh seminar, The Ethics of
Psychoanalysis. Working from an innovative perspective, this book
explores the close relationship between Freudian psychoanalysis and
the ideas of the early Reformation. Lacan claimed that to be
unaware of the connection between Freud and early Reformation
constituted a fundamental misunderstanding of the kind of problems
psychoanalysis addresses. Westerink carefully explores these
problems and shows that Lacanian psychoanalysis, with its emphasis
on desire and law, transgression, and symbolization, draws on
fundamental ideas first formulated in the writings of Luther and
Calvin. By relating psychoanalysis to early Reformation thought,
Westerink not only shows Lacan's writings in a completely new
light, but also makes possible an innovative reading of early
modern theology itself. The Heart of Man's Destiny breaks new
ground by providing both a controversial as well as a fresh
perspective on both Luther and Calvin, and on Freudo-Lacanian
psychoanalysis. This valuable contribution to the complex character
of psychoanalysis will be of interest to analysts and
psychotherapists, as well academics and postgraduates with an
interest in theology, philosophy and ethics.
