Routledge Hegel and Psychoanalysis - Phenomenology of Spirit

Explore the intersection of two major intellectual traditions with Hegel and Psychoanalysis: A New Interpretation of "Phenomenology of Spirit". While Hegel's philosophy and psychoanalytic theory are often treated as separate fields, this work brings them into a direct conversation. This book offers a fresh reading of Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit by connecting it to the work of renowned contemporary psychoanalysts Christopher Bollas and Andre Green. Rather than following common academic trends that focus on the most frequent themes, this study directs attention toward the figure of the Unhappy Consciousness and the concept of Force. Part of the Routledge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy series, this text provides a unique perspective for students and scholars interested in how these two influential frameworks can inform one another. It moves beyond traditional boundaries to examine how these theories overlap and what new insights they offer when studied together.
