Ludwig Wittgenstein on Sigmund Freud
← Back to Sigmund Freud Profile
“Freud is constantly claiming to be scientific. But what he gives is speculation — something prior even to the formation of an hypothesis.”
“Wisdom is something I would never expect from Freud. Cleverness, certainly; but not wisdom.”
“Freud … has not given an explanation of the ancient myth. What he has done is to propound a new myth.”
