Wittgenstein Reads Freud : The Myth of the Unconscious (New French Thought) by Jacques Bouveresse, Carol Cosman (Translator), Vincent Descombes
Is psychoanalysis a disciplined science or a blanket of hypotheses held loosely
together by Freud's personal points of view? Jacques Bouveresse, a professor at the
 College de France, utilizes the work of the British Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein
 to examine Sigmund Freud, the 20th century psychiatrist whose theories have guided
 modern-day psychoanalysis, but who some believe was nothing but an egomaniac
and a fraud. Wittgenstein argued that, "To be a scientist, you have to put forward
 falsifiable hypothesis, and Freud can easily weasel his way around any putatively
falsifying evidence, whereas physicists usually cannot." As Bouveresse examines the
 scientific usefulness of "ideas" versus facts, he questions whether we should
relinquish many of our Freud-based beliefs.
