The book takes its readers on a journey through the work of Plato and Melanie Klein in theorizing the dynamics of intimacy while exploring some of the paradoxical aspects of love in works by Fyodor Dostoevsky and French filmmaker Catherine Breillat. Revisiting core concepts of how we think about relationships, the book lays out a model for relational breakdown-the idiot love cycle-in which we are constantly in the flux between seeing ourselves and seeing the other. Effecting close readings of literary, philosophical, and psychoanalytical sources, the book draws on parallels between these fields of inquiry while tracing their shared intellectual genealogy, suggesting that the tension between Narcissus and Cassandra, with its inherent conflicts, is also the space through which love emerges from intimacy.Philosophy of mindSelfLiteraturePhilosophyPsychoanalysisPhilosophy of the SelfLiterary TheoryPsychoanalysisPhilosophy of mind.Self.LiteraturePhilosophy.Psychoanalysis.Philosophy of the Self.Literary Theory.Psychoanalysis.306.7100Stromberg Davidauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut749662MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409998103321IDIOT LOVE and the Elements of Intimacy2129690UNINA
