For Want of Ambiguity - Order and Chaos in Art, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience

Summary

This book focuses on the need innate within the human being to make sense of the world through symbol, metaphor, and similar modes of expression. Through contemporary works of art, it shows the need for symbol and metaphor to be psychological and physiological, and does so from the perspectives, specifically, of psychoanalysis and neuroscience.
