I was going to say that i wonder if some of freud's disrepute is also freudians and the defensiveness that they feel and how they act. But it seems like the boundaries here between philosophy and psychology are pretty fuzzy, because he's doing this big idea kind ofand and, like sociology kind of,. and s logy for sure.
David and Tamler dive into Sigmund Freud’s world of unconscious drives, death instincts, and thwarted incestuous urges in his classic text “Civilization and its Discontents.” If society has made so much progress, why are human beings perpetually dissatisfied? Can religion help us or is it a big part of the problem? What’s really going on when you piss on a fire to put it out? Also: how seriously should we take Freud today given some of his wackier ideas? And is he a psychologist, a philosopher, or something else entirely?
