These two principles for organizing religious life are vast; attempts to understand their implications lead to an overwhelmingly diverse set of facts and their meanings. In Freud's India, Alf Hiltebeitel takes up this enormously engaging question, focusing on the thinking of two spokespeople for the inner life of their culture-- Sigmund Freud and Girindrasekhar Bose. Alf Hiltebeitel considers the attempts of these two men to communicate with and understand each other and these issues, in the heated context of emotionally divisive allegiances. The book is elegant in its nuanced attention to these two thinkers, and its tightly controlled exploration of what their interactions indicate about their contributions and limitations as representatives of the psychology and religion of their respective cultures. Anxieties about mothers separate Eastern from Western imaginations. They separate Freud from Bose, and they separate Hindu foundational texts from the Hebrew foundational texts. "-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "This book "intercalates" Freud's conflictual correspondence with India's first psychoanalyst Girindrasekhar Bose (1920-1937) with his contemporary correspondence (1923-39) with novelist Romain Rolland, who coined the term "oceanic feeling" that Freud, in Civilization and its Discontents, disavowed ever having felt. It also intercalates Freud's 1933-34 therapeutic work with the poet H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)," in which she thematizes Freud's discussion with her of the ivory statuette of Vishnu on his desk (a gift from Bose and his Indian colleagues). Hiltebeitel; discusses associations to the iconographic dimension evoked by the statuette, opening on to Freud's belated treatment of preoedipal as opposed to oedipal themes"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a List of Figures -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- List of Abbreviations -- 1.
