The Temptation of Biology: Freud's Theories of Sexuality

The Temptation of Biology is one of Laplanche's central achievements in the latter half of his career: a major monograph on sexuality. Originally published in 1987 as Le fourvoiement biologisant de la sexualité chez Freud, republished in 1999 as La sexualité humaine and as Problématiques VII in 2006, in this volume it is followed by Laplanche's 1997 talk at the University of Buenos Aires when he was awarded the title Doctor Honoris Causa, a paper which addresses a key aspect of the monograph: "Biologism and Biology." Laplanche's work is widely recognized as offering what may be the most important - certainly the most coherent - development and correction of Freud's theories of sexuality. Building upon the 1984 volume New Foundations for Psychoanalysis, which Laplanche called the "hinge" of his theorizing, this book examines the origins of infantile sexuality. Laplanche works to demystify and demythologize the cult of biology within the work of Freud and his successors, to develop a theory of sexuality that both challenges and restores Freud's own foundational insights. In this remarkable translation, the text remains just as clear and illuminating as the original French. It is stimulating, rigorous, and (perhaps atypical for a work of theory) a pleasure to read.

Laplanche: an Introduction

In 1997, the Presses Universitaires de France commissioned Dominique Scarfone for another book for their series Psychanalystes d'aujourd'hui. The result was Jean Laplanche, now available in Dorothée Bonnigal-Katz's brilliantly clear English translation as "Laplanche: an introduction." More than an overview of Laplanche's career, Scarfone's text presents an unparalleled insight into the mechanisms, provocations, and spectacular theoretical achievements of Laplanche's work, which has been increasingly recognized as integral to Francophone-and more recently, Anglophone-psychoanalytic practice and theory. This volume brings together Scarfone's book with two representative works of Laplanche's writing: his introduction to the French translation of Freud's Beyond the Pleasure Principle, perhaps the last major work completed before his death in 2012; and Fantasme Originaire, Fantasmes des Origines, Origines du Fantasme , the classic 1964 essay written in collaboration with J.-B. Pontalis, in a new translation by Jonathan House. Finally, this volume includes a complete bibliography of Laplanche's work, in English and in French.

Publication of these lectures from the 1989-90 seminar on après-coup completes the English translation of the three major works from a period of Laplanche's greatest synthetic creativity, the other two being New Foundations for Psychoanalysis (1987) and The Temptation of Biology: Freud's theories of sexuality (1991-92). This volume also includes two related essays from the same period translated by Luke Thurston: "Time and the Other" and "Temporality and Translation." In "Time and the Other," first presented the month after the end of the seminar, Laplanche wrote, "après-coup is an expression taken from everyday speech and converted into a noun (Nachträglichkeit) at a specific moment in the letters to Fliess, and which Freud himself then privileges as a technical term. Everything confirms this."
