Persecution is functionally defined here as an impinging, affective relation that is not mediated by reason. It focuses on the works and personal lives of Emmanuel Lévinas phenomenological ethicist who understood persecution as an ontological condition for human existence nd Sigmund Freud, the inventor of psychoanalysis who proposed that a demanding superego is a persecuting psychological mechanism that enables one to sadistically enjoy moral injunctions. Scholarship on the work of Freud and Lévinas remains critical about their objectivity, but this book uses the phenomenological method to bracket this concern with objective truth and instead reconstruct their historical biographies to evaluate their hyperbolically opposing claims. By doing so, it is suggested that moral actions and relations of persecution in their personal lives illuminate the epistemic limits that they argued contribute to the psychological and ontological necessity of persecuting behaviors. Object relations and intersubjective approaches in psychoanalysis successfully incorporate meaningful elements from both of their theoretical works, which is used to develop an intentionality of search that is sensitive to an unknowable, relational, and existentially vulnerable ethical subjectivity. Details from Freud's and Levinas' works and lives, on the proclivity to use persecution to achieve moral ends, provide significant ethical warnings, and the author uses them as a strategy for developing the reader intentionality of search, to reflect on when they may use persecuting means for moral ends. The interdisciplinary nature of this research monograph is intended for academics, scholars, and researchers who are interested in psychoanalysis, moral philosophy, and phenomenology. Comparisons between various psychoanalytic frameworks and Lévinas' ethic will also interest scholars who work on the relation between psychoanalysis and The Other. Lévinas scholars will value the convergences between his ethics and Freud's moral skepticism; likewise, readers will be interested in the extension of Lévinas' intentionality of search. The book is useful for undergraduate or graduate courses on literary criticism and critical theories worldwide. 001436167 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 3, 2021). 001436167 650_0 $$aPsychoanalysis and philosophy. 001436167 650_6 $$aPsychanalyse et philosophie. 001436167 655_7 $$aLlibres electrònics.$$2thub 001436167 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001436167 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030646637$$z9783030646639$$w(OCoLC)1202759369 001436167 852__ $$bebk 001436167 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-64664-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001436167 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1436167$$pGLOBAL_SET 001436167 980__ $$aBIB 001436167 980__ $$aEBOOK 001436167 982__ $$aEbook 001436167 983__ $$aOnline 001436167 994__ $$a92$$bISE
