What is it about?
Pataki's book identifies a failure in philosophy to offer adequate conceptual analysis of psychological phenomena. He argues that it remains impossible to do so without recourse to the concept of the dynamic unconscious, and employs Freud's concept of wish-fulfilment to construct explanatory models.
