This analysis explores Freud's contributions to understanding 20th-century irrationalism and contradictions, suggesting his significance is often overlooked.
Perhaps more dramatically than anyone else, Freud inaugurated the 20th century with his dream book, which he carefully postdated to 1900. It has been overall a terrible century, terrible not the least in its contradictions. Freud’s role in helping us to understand the irrationalism and horror of the end of the second millennium has been inadequately recognized. He does not seem to have made the final cut in the person-of-the century choices of the various self-appointed culture custodians.
