Death and Desire (RLE

Exploring the intersection of death and desire through a Lacanian lens, this work reinterprets key Freudian concepts, such as the Oedipus complex and the dynamics of the psyche. Boothby posits that Lacan reshaped the understanding of death in psychoanalysis, linking it intricately to Freud's exploration of desire. By revisiting Freud's insights with depth and nuance, the book challenges existing views on the death instinct, prompting a reevaluation of its significance in psychoanalytic theory.
