This book on Freud sounds as if it might be worth reading.

I'm inclined to think of Freud and Marx as standing in the same relation to the human sciences as Boyle and Kepler do to the natural; important pioneers, whose path breaking insights were also tangled up in ideas that have been rightly discarded.

I'm aware that the idea of a science of the human is controversial; I feel that Mastodon is not the best place to engage in this controversy.
