THE CONFLATION IN FREUD’S PSEUDOSCIENCE

by Daniel Gurpide

Nietzsche, in that strand of his work that may be referred to as ‘Zarathustrian prayer,’ deliberately proposed a ‘myth.’

The Nietzschean ‘myth’ does not pretend to be ‘objective.’ Nietzsche explicitly acknowledges the arbitrariness of the ‘myth’ he formulates.

In contrast, Freud conflates Abrahamic ‘myth’ and Kantian rationalism and ends up producing pseudo-science (psycho-analysis).
