Dream Psychology | |||

| Sigmund Freud; Trans. MD Eder | ||||
| Signature 2007 132 pages | ||||
| Hardback 1572154683 | ||||
| Published Price | Sale Price £2.99 | |||
| Freud made dream interpretation a keystone of psychoanalysis and produced two major works on dreams: The Interpretation of Dreams (1899) explained the way to access the unconscious through dreams; and On Dreams (1901) provided a more concise and accessible version of Freud's theory of dreams as wish fulfilment in disguise. First published in 1920, this book combines parts of both earlier works, translated by MD Eder, with an introduction by the Freud popularizer, Andre Tridon. New preface by Brooks Robards. | ||||

| This study explores issues concerning the justification and legitimacy of psychoanalytic knowledge and its relevance to political and social questions. Part one explores the achievements of the British psychoanalytic tradition, relating these to recent developments in the sociological understanding of the sciences. In part two, Rustin discusses the contribution of psychoanalysis to social and political understanding and 'the ways in which psychoanalytic thinking is now illuminating the emotional and relational preconditions of rationality itself.' | ||||

The Wisdom Paradox | |||
| How Your Mind Can Grow Stronger as Your Brain Grows Older | Social Studies | |||
| Elkhonan Goldberg | ||||
| Free Press 2005 337 pages | ||||
| Paperback Illustrated 0743275969 | ||||
| Published Price £10.99 | Sale Price £2.99 | |||
| When they were at an age when 'senior moments' tend to become ever more frequent, some of the world's greatest leaders and artists - from Goethe to Ronald Reagan - achieved their most remarkable successes. Neurophysicist Elkhonon Goldberg explains why this might be, presenting scientific evidence which suggests that a decline in short-term memory goes together with an increasing mental strength which enhances our ability to make decisions. | ||||

Mind and Mechanism | |||
| Social Studies | ||||
| Drew McDermott | ||||
| MIT 2001 262 pages | ||||
| Hardback 026213392X | ||||
| Published Price £23.95 | Sale Price £17.99 | |||
| Drew McDermott takes a computational approach to the mind-body problem (how it is that a purely physical entity, the brain, can have experiences). He begins by demonstrating the falseness of dualist approaches, which separate the physical and mental realms. He then surveys what has been accomplished in artificial intelligence, clearly differentiating what we know how to build from what we can imagine building. McDermott then details a computational theory of consciousness - claiming that the mind can be modeled entirely in terms of computation - and deals with various possible objections. | ||||
