/lit/ - Literature

>>20069752
Jewish nepotism.

>>20069752
Because Freud is based. He is the most important figure in the field of psychology and makes both Christ cucks and science worshippers seethe.

>>20069842
Still not literature.

>>20069855
>t. hasn’t read Freud
Freud is an excellent writer and his works are just as much philosophy (which this board generally considers to be literature) as they are psychology

Decent writer and defintely influenced a lot of the modernists

>>20069752
Because he's very influential?

>>20069752
he's not

>>20069900
He is

Name 5 philosophical ideas in Freud.

>>20069920
>The Id, the ego, and the superego
>Eros and Thanatos
>Oedipus complex, castration anxiety, and or is envy
>The stages of psychosexual development
>Repression and defense mechanisms
None of these are scientific concepts because they’re not falsifiable and are not derived from empirical data, they are philosophical ideas arrived at through reason and contemplation on experience. It’s why he makes science worshippers seethe so much.

>>20069945
>or is envy
This was meant to say penis envy

>>20069945
That's psychology, not philosophy.

>>20069965
It’s a philosophy of psychology, similar to much of Nietzsche’s philosophy (which was one of Freud’s biggest influences, to such an extent that he considered Civilization and Its Discontents to be a sequel of sorts to Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals.)

>>20069986
>philosophy of psychology,
So basically not literature.

>>20069998
Go fuck yourself

>>20069945
>not falsifiable
It's not even obviously the case that falsification is what demarcates science from non-science. Are mathematical truths falsifiable? Does physics largely depend on mathematics? Is the autism of separating the "scientific" from the mathematical components of physics at all fruitful?

Anon, I...

>>20070050
I don’t know, I’m not a STEMcel. But almost all criticisms of Freud that don’t come from Christ cucks angry that Freud refuted their conception of natural law come from science worshippers who claim his theories are not scientific because they’re not falsifiable and not derived from empirical data.

>>20069866

Neck yourself kikel

>>20070073
Can we ever discuss literature in the literature board without /pol/tards flooding threads screeching about Jews? I don’t care if you don’t like Jews, I don’t like them very much myself, but can we please just have a discussion without this shit?

>>20069791
this

>>20070038
No, thank you, freudfag.

>>20069752
He explains why in the book. Read it or fuck off--all this thread will do is attract pseuds who think dunking on Freud is a hot take.

>>20069825
lmfao I love Bloom so not laughing at the intent behind this post but that's a 10/10 maymay kiddo

because he was a GENIUS you ANTI-SEMITIC WHITE FAGGOT FUCK

>>20070097
Okay, fine: Freud's father sexually abused him and his sister, and his theories are an attempt to harmonize this fact with Freud's rampant ethnonarcissism.

There you go, literature.

>>20071706

>Okay, fine: Freud's father sexually abused him and his sister,
Wow, you actually avoided being a frothing at the mouth anti-semite and criticized him for something other then being jewish, is so proud of you ano-
> and his theories are an attempt to harmonize this fact with Freud's rampant ethnonarcissism.
God dammit.
