The book presents a detailed examination of Freud's argument for unconscious mental states through contemporary philosophical methods, particularly Kripke-Putnam essentialism. It highlights Freud's evolution of Franz Brentano's intentionality theory into a modern understanding of the mind, showcasing how he shifted the focus from consciousness to a broader intentionalism regarding mental states. This transformation laid the groundwork for significant developments in the philosophy of mind in the late twentieth century.
