Sigmund Freud: Explorer of the Unconscious (Thursday 11am - 1pm)DescriptionSigmund Freud is without doubt one of the most controversial thinkers of modern times. Enormously influential in 20th century art, literature and cinema, this most Shakespearean of psychologists was one of the heroes of Surrealism and has left his mark in culture and social philosophy across Europe and North America, and further afield. Detested by repressive regimes of every stripe, his books banned (and even burned) by fascism, Nazism and Communism, Freud has been condemned by materialistic ‘scientism’, simultaneously loved and loathed by different strands of feminism, and profoundly misunderstood by admirers and detractors alike.
