stunningly plausible --Neue Zu]rcher Zeitung--Neue Z rcher Zeitung

An elegant and profound speculation, Philosophy of Dreams recasts Freud's theory of dreams as a theory of human pre-history and its persistence in the technologized mind of the present. Wide-ranging and infinitely stimulating, Turcke presents nothing less than a complex and highly original philosophy of cognition and representation. --Silke-Maria Weineck, University of Michigan<br>--Silke-Maria Weineck

<br><br> One of Germany's leading intellectuals reconstructs the process of civilization in this masterful and original new book. Attempting to understand both the genesis of culture and the genesis of mind, Turcke shows how our technological age leads straight back to prehistory. --Oliver Decker, Universitat Siegen<br><br>--Oliver Decker

Praise for the German Edition: <br><br> The book covers just two-hundred fifty pages, but they are full to the brim. It remains to hope that Philosophies des Traums will be recognized for what it is; the genuine continuation, when not the Aufhebung of Freud's theory. --Burkhard Muller, Suddeutsche Zeitung<br>--Burkhard M ller
