Description

Marcia Cavell draws on philosophy, psychoanalysis, and the sciences of the mind in an investigation of human subjectivity. She describes the ideal of a subject as an agent doing things for reasons and able to assume responsibility for itself. The book investigates what might stand in the way of this.
