It might be interesting for this inquirer about the association between
pleasure and knowledge to start with Freud himself. If he hasnt read
Freud's basic works, perhaps he may not follow too well the dense
discussion in THE PROBLEM OF ANXIETY. But there is also BEYOND THE
PLEASURE PRINCIPLE, etc.

Wouldn't it be wonderful! I keep seeing this type of position being created
