Psychoanalytic insights on religion and community

"On the Psychotheology of Everyday Life" is a must-read for those interested in exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis and religion. Santner successfully interweaves Freud's ideas on the self with Rosenzweig's religious philosophy, redefining the theological notion of revelation within a psychoanalytic framework. One of the book's highlights is its emphasis on the importance of openness and accountability in individual and social relationships. Overall, a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of human nature and society.

Description

In On the Psychotheology of Everyday Life, Eric Santner puts Sigmund Freud
in dialogue with his contemporary Franz Rosenzweig in the service of
reimagining ethical and political life. By exploring the theological
dimensions of Freud's writings and revealing unexpected psychoanalytic
implications in the religious philosophy of Rosenzweig's masterwork, The
Star of Redemption, Santner makes an original argument for understanding
religions of revelation in therapeutic terms, and offers a penetrating look
at how this understanding suggests fruitful ways of reconceiving political
community. Santner's crucial innovation in this new study is to bring the
theological notion of revelation into a broadly psychoanalytic field, where
it can be understood as a force that opens the self to everyday life and
encourages accountability within the larger world. Revelation itself
becomes redefined as an openness toward what is singular, enigmatic, even
uncanny about the Other, whether neighbor or stranger, thereby linking a
theory of drives and desire to a critical account of sociality. Santner
illuminates what it means to be genuinely open to another human being or
culture and to share and take responsibility for one's implication in the
dilemmas of difference. By bringing Freud and Rosenzweig together, Santner
not only clarifies in new and surprising ways the profound connections
between psychoanalysis and the Judeo-Christian tradition, he makes the
resources of both available to contemporary efforts to rethink concepts of
community and cross-cultural communication.
