Freud: The Mind of the Moralist Freud: The Mind of the Moralist (1959; second edition 1961) is a book about Sigmund Freud by the sociologist Philip Rieff, who described his motive in writing it as being to "show the mind of Freud, not the man or the movement he founded, as it derives lessons on the right conduct of life from the misery of living it." Rieff placed Freud and psychoanalysis in a larger historical context. One of Rieff's most influential writings, "Freud: The Mind of the Moralist" has been called "brilliant" and a "great book". It established Rieff's reputation and helped place Freud at the center of moral and philosophical inquiry. The writer Susan Sontag, Rieff's wife during the period the book was written, contributed to it to such an extent that she has been considered an unofficial co-author.

Lillian Hellman Lillian Florence Hellman (June 20, 1905 – June 30, 1984) was an American dramatist and screenwriter known for her success as a playwright on Broadway, as well as her left-wing sympathies and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–52. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the American film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer questions by HUAC, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party.
