Reviews
The French psychoanalyst Jean Laplanche, in retrospect, has emerged as one of the grand masters of the art of reading in the twentieth century, and Lucas Fain, in this gripping work on Rousseau and the seduction of happiness, has shown himself to be one of those who have taken the genius of Laplanche most seriously. One can only imagine the riches to be gleaned from a comparative study of Fain on Rousseau and Derrida's practice of grammatology, a philosophical (or post-philosophical) stance developed in a book principally about Rousseau. Primal Philosophy is an important work and I recommend it to all who have an interest in the future of intellectual history.--Jeffrey Mehlman, professor of french, Boston University
