![]() ![]() ![]() In his essay on Reason, Voegelin again places Freud within the same revolutionary context: Voegelin writes: “It will perhaps not be superfluous to add that the same problem of analytical obscurity would have arisen if the example chosen had not been the construction of Marx but that of Comte, Hegel, or Freud.” ![]() He does so while explaining the way that Marx used the element of “analytical obscurity” in order to have his counter-image of reality eclipse our true image of reality. In the essay, Wisdom and the Magic of the Extreme, Voegelin mentions Freud in connection with the type of analysis that he carries out on Marx. However, he did make enough comments to make it clear that he regarded Freud as falling within the same cultural matrix that produced the revolutionary figures of the nineteenth and early twentieth century. In his writings Voegelin makes several references to Sigmund Freud, but he never engaged in the type of sustained philosophical analysis that he carried out with figures like Hegel, Marx, or Nietzsche. ![]()
