This book is about what exceeds or resists calculation-in life and in death. Its two parts and nine chapters highlight, in their coupling of Freud and Derrida ("Freuderrida"), the accidents both in and of psychoanalytic writing, and the philosophical question of what limits the openness of our horizon.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This brilliant, pathbreaking, witty, and lucidly argued book will undoubtedly become a major point of reference if not the major point of reference for anyone interested in psychoanalysis and deconstruction for years to come Elissa Marder, Emory University

A tour de force of critical writing. Rottenberg has a unique, lively, and witty philosophical voice. She stands out as one of the most important scholars working at the intersection of deconstruction and psychoanalysis Rebecca Comay, University of Toronto

For the Love of Psychoanalysis is a book about what exceeds or resists calculation in life and in death. Rottenberg examines what emerges from the difference between psychoanalysis and philosophy.

Part I, Freuderrida, announces a non-traditional Freud: a Freud associated not with sexuality, repression, unconsciousness, and symbolization, but with accidents and chance. Looking at accidents both in and of Freud s writing, Rottenberg elaborates the unexpected insights that both produce and disrupt our received ideas of psychoanalytic theory. Whether this disruption is figured as a foreign body, as traumatic temporality, as spatial unlocatability, or as the death drive, it points to something that is neither simply inside nor simply outside the psyche, neither psychically nor materially determined.

Whereas the close reading of Freud leaves us open to the accidents of psychoanalytic writing, Part II, Freuderrida, addresses itself to what transports us back and limits the openness of our horizon. Here the example par excellence is the death penalty and the cruelty of its calculating decision. If Freuderrida insists on the death penalty, if it returns to it compulsively, it is not only because its calculating drive is inseparable from the history of reason as philosophical reason; it is also because the death penalty provides us with one of the most spectacular and spectacularly obscene expressions of Freud s death drive.
