This course is designed to acquaint the student with Sigmund Freud and the fundamentals of his thought. Rather than settle for merely a secondary-source summary of who he was and what he thought, this course will concentrate on Freud’s life and, by using a classic text, will explore the essentials of his thought. The introductory material presented in Morgan’s chapter on Freud is a way of establishing the parameters of the course. The biography is an in-depth look at Freud’s life. The classic text is a primary source to expose the student to Freud himself.
