Features: This book selects key aspects to position Freud as a thinker, psychologist, and humanitarian. From this specific perspective, it affirms Freud's pragmatic and courageous rational spirit, his spirit of relentless pursuit and selfless dedication, his broad-mindedness in understanding human nature and his commitment to humanity, as well as his unwavering opposition to racial discrimination and aggressive wars. Additionally, it extracts some fragments from Freud's marital and romantic experiences, making them an integral part of the overall critique. This is not only because love was a vital support and a strong backbone for Freud's career, but also as an affirmation of his personal qualities and moral integrity.
