At first glance, it may seem that Bloch, as the hopeful thinker of utopia, and Freud, as the skeptical thinker of the compulsion to repeat, stand irreconcilably opposed to each other. Hanna Gekle aims to undermine this stark confrontation in her study. In the first step, she highlights the fundamental agreement between these two very different thinkers. In the first part of her book, Hanna Gekle interprets Bloch's philosophy from a Freudian perspective. In a reverse perspective, guided by Bloch's theory of the not-yet-conscious, Hanna Gekle then embarks on a quest to uncover the figures of transgression in Freud's work.
