Fetishism, Psychoanalysis, and Philosophy
Fetishism, Psychoanalysis, and Philosophy explores how
and why Freud’s late work on fetishism led to the beginnings of a
re-formulation of the theory and practice of psychoanalysis.
Freud himself, however, was unaware of the long history of the
concept of fetishism, a history crucial to understanding the
concept.

This book contains three main thrusts. One is historical, tracing
the development of the concept of fetishism from the 16th century
onwards. The focus here is on two important thinkers: Charles de
Brosses from the 18th century, and Auguste Comte from the 19th.
The second thrust is philosophical. Fetishism is always about the
relation between the mind and things. Martin Heidegger, Jaques
Derrida, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty have made essential
contributions in this area, contributions which have important
scientific relevance. The third thrust integrate the historical,
philosophical, and psychoanalytic investigations of fetishism. It
also looks at Wallace Stevens’ poetic meditation on mind and
thing, which helps to illuminate everything that precedes.

This comprehensive book features careful integration of the
historical, philosophical, and psychoanalytic investigations of
fetishism. It will contribute to opening new ways of thinking
about the mind and how it is structured, so that fetishism is
possible.
