The traditional dating of the origin of psychoanalysis to 1900,
when Freud published The Interpretation of Dreams, ignores the
massive body of work he produced well before this date. Covering
fields as diverse as neurology, physiology, philosophy, and
pharmacology, this wealth of unjustly neglected material was to
have a profound influence upon the development of psychoanalytic
theory and technique. This fascinating study of the hidden roots of
psychoanalysis features contributions from an international panel
of authorities on Freud's early writings, and highlights the
unparalleled originality of his pre-analytic work. Seeking to
restore the openness that originally existed between psychoanalysis
and the other sciences, these papers consider Freud's outstanding
scientific achievements within neurology and his achievements as a
psychologist. Freud's early fascination with cocaine and his
substantial monograph on the coca plant are reconsidered in the
light of research that places the episode in its historical
context. The influence of philosophical writings upon Freud's
thought is demonstrated careful consideration of the origins of
Freudian concepts in the works of Aristotle, Brentano and John
Stuart Mill.
This edited volume presents papers on this alternative philosophy
of biology that could be called "continental philosophy of
biology," and the variety of positions and solutions that it has
spawned. In doing so, it contributes to debates in the history and
philosophy of science and the history of philosophy of science, as
well as to the craving for 'history' and/or 'theory' in the
theoretical biological disciplines. In addition, however, it also
provides inspiration for a broader image of philosophy of biology,
in which these traditional issues may have a place. The volume
devotes specific attention to the work of Georges Canguilhem, which
is central to this alternative tradition of "continental philosophy
of biology". This is the first collection on Georges Canguilhem and
the Continental tradition in philosophy of biology. The book should
be of interest to philosophers of biology, continental
philosophers, historians of biology and those interested in broader
traditions in philosophy of science.
