Is our ego but an illusion, a mere appearance produced by a reality
that is foreign to us? Is it the main source of violence and
injustice? Jacob Rogozinski calls into question these prejudices
that dominate current philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the human
sciences. Arguing that we must distinguish the true ego from the
alienated and narcissistic construct, he calls for an end to
egicide, or the destruction of the ego. Ego and the Flesh offers a
critique of the two masters of egicide, Heidegger and Lacan, along
with a rereading of Descartes, who was the first to discover the
absolute truth of "I am." The book's main purpose, however, is to
provide an entirely new theory of the self, egoanalysis, which
reveals a divided ego-flesh. Constantly striving to attain unity,
the ego-flesh is haunted by a remainder, whose role sheds light on
various enigmas: the encounter with the other, the passage from
hate to love, the death and the resurrection of the I. For
ego-analysis is no mere theory: it opens the way to our
deliverance.
