Document Summary

Dept. of psychology, york university: it is suggested that freud (1856-1939) expressed contempt for philosophy and philosophers (cybulska, 2008). Yet, as nietzsche remarked: (cid:1684)great despisers are great admirers(cid:1685). However, freud did fall under the (cid:1688)sway(cid:1689) of a philosophy professor, franz brentanno, when freud was a student at the university of vienna (makari, 2008): however, freud(cid:1685)s ideas show striking similarity to those of. Schopenhauer (1788-1860) and nietzsche (1844-1900): schopenhauer viewed the unconscious as a (cid:1684)secret workshop of the will(cid:1685)s decisions(cid:1685). The most superficial and worst part for only this conscious thinking takes the form of words, which is to say signs of communication, and this fact uncovers the origin of consciousness(cid:1689) (the gay science, v: p. 354). 2: freud in 1923 postulated the (cid:1684)id, ego, and superego(cid:1685) as forming three parts or functions of personality. Das ich is the ego or conscious part of mind, and superego (uberich), the moral censor.
