Why Freud Matters
Before we get down to cramming the bleak boring bones of the exam, let’s get inspired by
the real passion and outrageousness of the material.
When understanding the revolutions in thought that occurred in the late 19th to early 20th
century, Darwin, Marx and Freud were the giants who outraged, challenged and ultimately inspired
their own generations and many more to come – right up to today.
Darwin displaced humanity from the center of creation.
Marx overturned the social and moral order, putting dialectic class struggle in its place. He
is still upsetting people to this day.

Freud overthrew Cartesian dualism (the mind being Spiritual, and the body material.) This was
shocking, transgressive, and seminal. Before you even get to start talking about sex and
sexuality.
Anatomy is destiny.
Sigmund Freud
