Seventy-five years after his death, Élisabeth Roudinesco reminds us, Sigmund Freud, the founder
of psychoanalysis, continues to “disturb Western consciousness” with his myths; his
interpretation of dreams; his explanation of the id, the ego, and superego; his accounts of
Leonardo da Vinci, the Oedipus Complex, and Moses and monotheism; and his analysis of
civilization’s discontents.
