This is the first extended study comparing the philosophies of mind promoted by Sigmund Freud and William James, whose opposing views had profound influences on the development of twentieth-century philosophy, cognitive science, and psychology.

Each asked, can the mind be scientifically characterized? While Freud thought that psychoanalysis had established a science of the mind, James maintained that the subjective could not be objectified, and psychology was left with only "the crumbs" of analysis. Taubers presentation of a conjured philosophical confrontation occasioned by their first and only meeting in 1909 uncovers the clashing philosophies of mind underlying their respective positions. In comparing their opposing portraits of the psyche, persistent questions about self-knowledge, personal identity, and moral agency are presented at their fin de sičcle origin. In this setting, the James-Freud dispute offers a unique perspective about our own contemporary dilemmas swirling around selfhood, consciousness, and the subjectivity of human experience.

This eclectic history of early psychology will interest psychoanalysts, psychologists, and philosophers as well as those interested in the origins of pragmatism, phenomenology, modernism, and twentieth-century positivism.

Recenzijos

Alfred Tauber offers us a lucid and satisfying presentation and comparison of William Jamess subjectivismhis study of experience itselfand Sigmund Freuds contrasting objectivism, in which the mind was understood as an entity separate from the observer. But Tauber is not satisfied with a mere comparison: he shows us why and how these differences have matteredin both intellectual and social/political life. The book is an eye-opener; it is downright excitingperhaps especially for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists. How is it that this comparative study was not tackled until now?

William James and Sigmund Freud on the Mind is a startling original contribution, not only to the debates about human psychology and subjectivity, but also to the role that 'American pragmatism' has had in shaping our understanding of the world about us. If the debate seems to be between Freud and James about whether science can define the essence of the human, it is also about how the claims about individual autonomy, often seen as the hallmark of American pragmatism, has comefor good or for illto define our modernity. Alfred I. Taubers writing is clear and crispforcing us to ask how much our understanding of ourselves is embedded in what we define as 'human.'

Sander L. Gilman, author of Freud, Race, and Gender

Finally, a long overdue study on the confrontation between James and Freud. As Tauber masterfully demonstrates, Freuds psychoanalysis was born within a historical epoch that assumed the truth of positivist assumptions, against which James would protest vigorously. James rejected Freuds dualistic approach; instead promoting the primacy of human experience. Their feuding conceptions of the mind animated the development of modern psychology, a division yet to be fully explored. Tauber has now remedied that deficiency.
