(Ludwig) Wittgenstein and (Louis) Althusser: Two Philosophers Analysing (Sigmund) Freud‪.‬

PAUL ROAZEN is professor emeritus at York University. His most recent book is How Freud Worked: First-hand Accounts of Patients. IN libraries across North America, Freud's works are catalogued under the designation "Philosophy," and therefore writings in the tradition of thought he succeeded in inspiring -- which means a lot of books by now -- have accordingly been similarly categorized. The librarians who made the original choice about where to place Freud's text have seemed confirmed in their judgement. At any rate, and as a matter of historical inquiry, we now know that Freud was more philosophically well read and sophisticated than he ever liked to acknowledge in public. At the time he was getting his medical qualification he also toyed with taking a simultaneous degree in humanities.
