Wittgenstein on Freud and Frazer.
Frank Cioffi
What is it that troubles and preoccupies us about the anxieties
and anguishes of social and private life? Have advances in the
disciplines of psychoanalysis, psychology or the social sciences
in general ministered to our needs in these areas? In this
forcefully argued collection of essays, Frank Cioffi examines
Wittgenstein's reflections on the comparative claims of
clarification and empirical enquiry. Though writing from a
position of admiration and indebtedness, he expresses reservations
as to the limits Wittgenstein places on the relevance
and desirability of empirical knowledge. His discussions
extend from Wittgenstein's reflections on human sacrifice
and other ritual practices dealt with by Frazer to Freud's
account of the sources of anxiety, depression, dreams and
laughter. He asks both whether it is empirical investigation or
more lucid reflection that these phenomena demand, and
what kind of question this itself is.
