About the Book

Develops a new psychoanalytic theory of genius, a concept that is often invoked and pervasive in popular culture but which is rarely scrutinized in depth.

In the absence of this scrutiny, genius has come to be understood as exceptional talent or intelligence—an elitist notion. Genius After Psychoanalysis intervenes in this debate by offering a new account of genius.

Drawing on the work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, K. Daniel Cho argues that genius is not exceptional talent or intelligence but is related to and illuminated by the psychological concept of sublimation, where the unpleasures that arise when our intellectual products fail become themselves pleasurable. Beginning with a close examination of Freud’s work on Leonardo da Vinci, Cho analyzes film, art, our relationship to nature, politics, group psychology, love, and philosophy to demonstrate that genius, far from an elitist notion, is universally available through a different approach to ideas of imperfection, disappointment, and failure.

Genius After Psychoanalysis is a bold new intervention on a culturally central but understudied topic.

Review :
K. Daniel Cho’s work on genius accomplishes what seems impossible: it democratizes genius. Through a rigorous and delightful theorization of genius, Cho takes the concept back from the elites and gives it to the people. Genius After Psychoanalysis will transform the conception of genius for everyone who reads it – and everyone should read it. Cho’s book is absolutely not to be missed. It reveals not just the truth of genius but exemplifies how we might reinterpret all the concepts that suffuse our daily lives with an unconscious resonance that remains as yet unexplored. Cho's superb mediation on Freudian and Lacanian theories of sublimation teaches us how to be 'geniuses together.' The argument presented in this cogent and astute re-examination of the whole psychoanalytic canon leads us not to try and emulate Leonardo or Steve Jobs but to embrace life, a life touched by the sublime – a life with and beyond the death drive.
