Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature, delves into Freud's world in this engaging discussion. The conversation explores Freud’s theories on the unconscious, repression, and trauma, along with his controversial views on hysteria. They critically analyze whether Freud fits the mold of a scientist or philosopher, examining his dual identity and the speculative aspects of his work. With insights into the Oedipus Complex and cultural implications, this talk illuminates Freud's lasting influence despite modern skepticism.
