Notes on the Aniconic: The Foundations of Psychology in Ontology

Author: Eric Rhode

£19.79

‘Eric Rhode seeks to explore a domain that has long been missing in psychoanalytic psychology, the ineffable domain of ontology or existence. He describes a multi-layered, numinous domain that engulfs the most ordinary reaches of our lives but remains barely known to us. An utterly profound work.’
James Grotstein from the Preface

Description

‘Rhode pulls us deeply into the largest questions of existence and upwards into a coherence of thinking that enriches philosophy, anthropology and psychoanalysis, without our realising quite how far he has helped us to travel. This is an extraordinary book’
– Paul Williams from the Preface
