> As to whether there is an unconscious or is it all hormones, etc., I don't feel it has to be either/or. One is a way to try to describe how we might experience ourselves in our world. The other explains the mechanisms of how the equipment works to give us those experiences.
I think it is indeed either/or. Either Freud et alia were on to a scientific truth, or they were folklorists. There's nothing per se wrong with folklore, but it should be viewed as that --literature, myth, gorgeous nonense, equivalent to astrology or religion -- and not confused with science. I have no problem with Freud as literature; I have a problem with Freud as science. When I go to a physician, I want medicine, not poetry.
Cheers,
