Jean Cocteau has often been thought of as

he celebrates Cocteau’s “fragile genius—a

Philosophy of Dreams
CHRISTOPH TÜRCKE; TRANSLATED BY SUSAN H.
GILLESPIE
One of contemporary Germany’s leading
intellectuals, Christophe Türcke refutes
Sigmund Freud’s philosophy of the dream,
suggesting that modern technology is
breaking down the barriers between
dreams and waking consciousness and
returning human mental states to those
of our prehistoric ancestors.
