Sigmund Freud envisioned psychoanalysis as a significant contributor to human thought, yet his writings are seldom examined through the lens of political philosophy. Political theorists can discover a wealth of ideas within Freud's school, engaging in the ongoing dialogue about the goals of a just society and the nature of a fully developed individual. In his new introduction to this classic text, Paul Roazen argues that Freud's relevance has grown since the 1960s, influencing our understanding of character and human impulses. The impact of Freud's ideas extends to privacy, with political candidates now leveraging intimate details from personal lives for public manipulation. Despite this, political scientists often hesitate to explore the psychological dimensions of political events. Roazen emphasizes the importance of not reducing politics to psychoanalysis or overstating psychological frameworks in political discourse. By integrating psychology and politics, he challenges narrow perspectives and advocates for a more interdisciplinary approach. While not a proponent of psychoanalysis, Roazen acknowledges that analysts can benefit from social science insights. This volume demonstrates that effective political theory must be inherently interdisciplinary, appealing to intellectual historians, psychoanalysts, and political theorists alike.
