In it Freud introduces the fundamental concepts of the \"repetition compulsion\" and the \"death drive,\" according to which a perverse, repetitive, self-destructive impulse opposes and even trumps the creative drive, or Eros. The work is one of Freud's most intensely debated, and raises important questions that have been discussed by philosophers and psychoanalysts since its first publication in 1920. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The text is presented here in a contemporary new translation by Gregory C. Richter. Appendices trace the work's antecedents and the many responses to it, including texts by Plato, Friedrich Nietzsche, Melanie Klein, Herbert Marcuse, Jacques Derrida, and Judith Butler, among many others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTodd Dufresne\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy and founding Director of the Advanced Institute for Globalization \u0026amp; Culture at Lakehead University.
