This special fortieth-anniversary edition of Philip Rieff's masterpiece, the first volume in ISI Books' new Background series, includes an introduction by Elisabeth Lasch-Quinn and essays on the text by historians Eugene McCarraher and Wilfred McClay and philosopher Stephen Gardner.Philip Rieff is a University Professor and the Benjamin Franklin Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania. His writings include Freud: The Mind of the Moralist, Fellow Teachers, and The Feeling Intellect, and he is considered one of the best cultural intellectuals of his generation. He is also the editor of Sigmund Freud's ten-volume Collected Writings.
