Now the dust has settled, may we claim that Schlomo truly was

Freud was definitely onto a lot; before him people thought that mental illness was a matter of poor reasoning, that people were motivated solely by their rational self interest and anyone who wasn't was insane to some degree; he exposed human comportment for the thinly veiled savagery it really is.

He nailed the jewish mental sickness but projected this onto non-jews and was wrong about most everything else.

Freud was a kook, even for his time. It was the literary "quality" of his work that appealed to people. That's something I especially like about pre-20th century literature, never have to read a reference to some freudian shit.
His contemporary Kraepelin had better ideas about mental illness.

Most of what he got right was stolen from Jung.

Stay blasted brainlet

Freud was a hack and a plagiarist

Schopenhauer's influence vs. Freud's is directly proportional to the skill and insight of each respectively.

>more than a century later
>people are still assblasted by Freud's unwavering dedication to telling the truth regardless of how uncomfortable it made people feel
You would think /lit/ would admire such a man. The society we see around us today was built by Freud and engineered by his disciples, from advertising and marketing to store design and the paint colors on the walls.

>>9756541
I suppose that it is rather the queerness of his pseudo-scientific thought that accounts for the lack of admiration

too true, my mang. Happy Bastille Day.

Being influenced probably means plagiarism to him

fuck off you waste of air

All of Freud's bad ideas were original; all his good ones were plagiarized, either from Schoppy or Fritz. Freud himself admitted that he had to stop reading Nietzsche for fear he would have nothing left to explain.

is textbook Schopenhauer. Freud didn't invent shit but a bunch of idiosyncratic disorders and neuroses

Freud is a classic example of da Vinci's ugly painter
