The future of one's errors

Despite its unending theoretical and technical flaws and mistakes (sometimes because of them), Freud's work still manages to be serviceable to this day. To me, this sets him apart from other early psychoanalysts such as Jung and Ferenczi.

Freud's Eurocentrism and his love for speculation get the best of him here. Religion can't be subsumed to the repression of Hilflosigkeit⁠⁠—it is too culturally and historically diverse for that. But Die Zukunft einer Illusion serves well as a symptomatic text of European modernity itself, almost analogic to it in its structure.
