Customer Reviews

remembering the classic
norman o brown is no longer in vogue, as he once was, back in the 60's, but intellectuals who criticize this book today, claiming their own mature wisdom and resignation, are the ones who have never read it, or read it carefully, in the first place. this is one of the most intelligent books ever written by an american professor. as a piece of work in the field of freud interpretation, it has a penetrating force unsurpassed by any other since the day of its publication. it's not likely that the official academic world will approve of it, but that doesn't matter. what the intelligent reader has to do, and all that he has to do, is to open the book and read it. yes, read this book, for it might be decades before another one of its caliber will come into this world.
