Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2015-07-11]: We are all taught that Freud is outdated. But outdated when compared to what? The arrogance of the new against the old it outrageous. We behave as if we know how the human spirit works and yet we know nothing. Full of conceit for our new theories, we discard the old ones simply because they are… old. Our Ego is not big enough to block our Superego from tramping on every feeling our Id has regarding the cosmos and the agony we feel inside it. We have been left to society. Ruled by the stupid majorities, we are becoming ants. Full of guilt before the crime, we commit the crime to redeem ourselves. Revisit old theories. See them right.
