Is there anything of value in his work, or was he just a Sickmind Fraud?

>> No.13192303

Sick pun there, have an upvote.

On a more grown up note, he isn't taken seriously these days, his observations were crude by modern standarts, but his works helped a shit ton in shaping modern psychology, so he is still respected as a sort of universal ancestor.

His influence has been mammoth, anon. On the way [we] think, talk, legislate, attack and defend.

As long as you're not an anachronistic pea brain, it's easy to realize how Freud's work was revolutionary and relevant.

He influenced Lacan and Lacan influenced Zizek. I'd say he is influential.

Freud is a genius and though many of his thoughts have been proven wrong he is nevertheless as important as Aristotle who, like him, has also been proven wrong in many ways.

Bloom was right in seeing him as a modern equivalent of a shaman. He had some scientific bases in his work, but he was a unremitting in his opininions that were eventually given proper scientific (or at least more proper) treatment by Jung. His works surely have literary merit, and without him you'll have a hard time understading culture, literature and science in the 20th century. So yeah, give him a shot, but be critical. Also start with his lectures on the introduction to psychoanalysis.
